Detect encoding and make everything UTF-8

Question

I\'m reading out lots of texts from various RSS feeds and inserting them into my database.

Of course, there are several different character encodings used in the fee

Answer 1

Try without 'auto'

That is:

mb_detect_encoding($text)

instead of:

mb_detect_encoding($text, 'auto')
