The following function will break down a Big5 string into characters and convert them into UTF-8 one by one. Continue reading PHP – Convert Big5 to UTF-8
I was working on a legacy CMS which has a HTML form with ISO-8859-1 encoding. I found that whenever i got an Apostrophe (‘) in the string, the data cannot be persisted.
