UTF-8 output with CakePHP

Question

I\'m trying to move some Excel-Data to MySQL, but having troubles with encoding.

What I did:

1. Data export from OpenOffice 3.1 as csv

Answer 1

$conn1  = mysqli_connect($this->db_host, $this->db_username, $this->db_password, $this->db_name);

Add this in connection

mysqli_set_charset($conn1,"utf8mb4");
