I have a problem, I can not convert my string from CP1252 to UTF-8, my string comes from a .DBF (Windows) file that is read by my PHP functions

  • My application is fully encoded in UTF8

My file .dbf is load with php-xbase

$table = new Table($file, null, "Windows-1252//TRANSLIT");

or 

$table = new Table($file);

is not working my string return :

Ordures M‚nagŠres

I also tried to do this directly but it gives the same result:

echo iconv('CP1252', 'UTF-8', "Ordures M‚nagŠres");

Ordures M‚nagŠres

Do you have an idea of ​​where it can come from, knowing from php-xbase uses iconv to convert characters but it has no effect I lose the accents of letters...

Thank you for your help and sorry for my bad English

You should use the CP850 encoding when you work with DBF files if they come from MS-DOS FoxPro applications(International MS-DOS)

In the case of a Windows DBF file, like a DBF straight up from a Visual FoxPro application, you can use CP1252 (Windows ANSI)
