php-excel-reader - problem with UTF-8

Question

I\'m using php-excel-reader 2.21 for converting XLS file to CSV. I wrote a simple script to do that, but I have some problems with unicode characters. It does not return val

Answer 1

I has the answer for this problem, use php_excel_reader like common! Add a function to Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader class:

function seems_utf8($str) {
        for ($i=0; $i

And add below line 1120: $retstr = $this->seems_utf8($retstr)?$retstr:utf8_encode($retstr);

Finish!

You can use file php_excel_reader, that i modify! Download here : File excel_reader2.php Use like common with Original-excel-reader
