I am unable to detect file encoding, that needs to be converted

0

I am working on a project where I need to upload csv to databse, but here the problem is the file is encoded in the unknown format, so I am unable to upload the file to the database. I tried many ways like mb_detect_encoding and tried to convert into UTF-8. but not succeed. Can anyone try to help me to solve this problem?

  Hi, Ashok. I can help with this. Please give me a test file, or better yet a link to a set of test files. UTF-8 is self-evident, and BOM is easy to remove. I wrote an article about this a few years ago.

  My email is Ray.Paseur [at] Gmail if you want to send me a link to the test data. If you send me an email, I will send you links to my articles and presentation deck. Best regards, Ray
