Res: Res: Res: Parsing of undecoded UTF-8 will give garbage when decoding entities

Thank you for your help.
But the content of @$row[7] is a string (I have printed out it). If it is not a string, I cannot identify other variable to apply this function. =( Because the rest of the program is a sequence of ifs similar to the last if.

Thanks in advance.
Bianca

encode_utf8(@$row[7])

@$row[7] is not a string, it's an array containing the eighth element of @$row.
Make sure what you are passing to encode_utf8 is a string by having
your program print out the value.

>You have to pass strings to encode_utf8, so call it after converting the tables to strings, whenever that occurs. What you tried,  encode_utf8($te->parse($page)), is passing encode_utf8 an arrayref, which cannot work. The other things you tried are incorrect.
