Encoding issue

[marcelo2605]

I file that I'm trying to parse was encoded using Windows-1252. I confirmed this using mb_check_encoding()

$csv = new \ParseCsv\Csv();
$csv->file_data = file_get_contents($file);
$deteced_encoding = mb_check_encoding($csv->file_data, 'Windows-1252'); // return true
$csv->encoding('Windows-1252');
$csv->auto();
$array = $csv->data;

But the content of the array still have broken characters (�).

@marcelo2605 Could you attach a version of the problematic file? Feel free to remove/overwrite all confidential information.

You call the encoding() function with one parameter, which means the output character set will be 'ISO-8859-1'. Maybe the broken characters cannot be represented in ISO-8859-1? Are you sure you need/want to convert to 'ISO-8859-1'?

Depending on where the data should go, 'UTF-8' might be a good choice for the second parameter of encoding().
