Re: Characters in an uploaded text file being corrupted

Ok, and, FWIW, this test text file is a word document that have saved as a 
text file, and when now resaved it using specifically unicode encoding, it 
seemd to eliminate this issue, but would have thought there might be a 
relatively simple way to handle something like encoding conversion in PHP 
itself..?

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Characters in an uploaded text file being corrupted


Using the following bit of code, I am then saving the contents of an 
uploaded text file into a mysql database, but, the issue seems to be that 
immediately after retrieving the contents of the temporary path of the 
uploaded file, for example, things like ' characters are rendering as ? 
characters in the assigned variable..?

//start of code segment
if (isset($_FILES["filContent"])) {
if ($_FILES["filContent"]["type"] == "text/plain") {
$ltContents = file_get_contents($_FILES["filContent"]["tmp_name"]);
}
}
//end of code segment

I am guessing that it's either due to something to do with upload part of 
process - form tag is using post method, and has enctype set to 
multipart/form-data - or else, it might have something to do with the server 
handling character encoding or something..?

This is currently being run/tested under WAMP, on a windows7 64 bit machine, 
FWIW.
