[PHP] Figuring out file-encoding

2011-02-28 Thread Asmann, Roland 
Hi all,

I need to read several files from the HD, but they are saved in 
different encodings. Can I somehow figure out which encoding I should 
use when reading the file?

Thanks.

i think detect the file encoding and decode it.
as for detection try using mb_detect_encoding function.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mb-detect-encoding.php
it works with (PHP 4 = 4.0.6, PHP 5)
