A neat way to transcode between different encodings is htmlentities
and html_entity_decode [1, 2]

EXAMPLE:

<?php
# encode a string in UTF-8 to html entities
$string = 'øæåöäü';
$string = htmlentities($string, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
# transcode it into ISO-8859-15
$string = html_entity_decode($string, ENT_QUOTES, 'ISO-8859-15');
?>

There was a user with a similar problem at phpbuilder forums [3]. Have
a closer look at it.
