utf8_encode only supports iso-8859-1 encoded strings. what can i do to get rid of this encoding?
In my shop I use iso-8859-9 encoding which is turkish and unfortunately when we use utf8 encoding it takes iso-8859-9 encoded string as iso-8859-1 and the result is garbage.. I tried iconv() and other stuff but the result was not successful. any ideas?
I answered my own question
problem solved. I got rid of all the utf-8 encodings and changed the header to show iso-8859-9 encoding instead of utf-8
