Re: Problem with special chars.

The problem is if I don't specify and encoding even an echo() on the 
string shows strange chars when I have made a mb_strtoupper() on the 
string. With HTML-ENTITIES at least it looked ok when you made an echo()
but when saved in file it looks bad.

Does anybody now what I can do in order to make the string into capital 
letters, be able to save it to a file and looking as it should look, 
that is: Asunción and not ASUNCIÓN?
