The complete framework is based (or should be) upon UTF-8.
Just convert the output from UTF-8 to your wished encoding.
But you should expect problems, as many characters, including some currency
symbols, are only available within UTF-8.
Using multilingual components it is highly recommended to use UTF-8 as
default encoding for the complete application.

Subject: [fw-general] Question: currency formatting and charset
Hi!
I'm trying to get a formatted currency, but the currency symbol is
misrepresented; my character set is ISO-8859-1 but the symbol appears
to be in UTF-8. Does anyone know how to solve this?
Snippet:
<?php
require_once('Zend/Currency.php');
require_once('Zend/Debug.php');
class TestController extends Zend_Controller_Action {
public function indexAction() {
$this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender();
ini_set('default_charset', 'ISO-8859-1');
// Uncomment to get the correct results
// ini_set('default_charset', 'UTF-8');
// Expected: ISO-8859-1
// Actual: ISO-8859-1
Zend_Debug::dump(iconv_get_encoding('internal_encoding'));
$currency = new Zend_Currency('nl_NL'); // Dutch
// Expected: € 120,45
// Actual: € 120,45
Zend_Debug::dump($currency->toCurrency(120.45));
// Expected: ISO-8859-1
// Actual: UTF-8
Zend_Debug::dump(iconv_get_encoding('internal_encoding'));
}
}
?>
Thanks!
