 I'm working on script based on "<a href="http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">Simple HTML DOM</a>" and I want to detect string's charset after getting inner text of URL to convert it to "UTF-8" using <code>iconv()</code>. I've tried a lot of things but non of them work with <code>Windows-1256</code>. What I've tried:- <code>mb_detect_encoding($content)</code> detects <code>Windows-1256</code> as <code>UTF-8</code> <code>mb_detect_encoding($content, "windows-1256")</code> gives an error <code>Illegal argument</code> <pre><code>function is_utf8($string) { return preg_match('%^(?: [\x09\x0A\x0D\x20-\x7E] # ASCII | [\xC2-\xDF][\x80-\xBF] # non-overlong 2-byte | \xE0[\xA0-\xBF][\x80-\xBF] # excluding overlongs | [\xE1-\xEC\xEE\xEF][\x80-\xBF]{2} # straight 3-byte | \xED[\x80-\x9F][\x80-\xBF] # excluding surrogates | \xF0[\x90-\xBF][\x80-\xBF]{2} # planes 1-3 | [\xF1-\xF3][\x80-\xBF]{3} # planes 4-15 | \xF4[\x80-\x8F][\x80-\xBF]{2} # plane 16 )*$%xs', $string); } </code></pre> This function returns "0" if not UTF-8 but when string is UTF-8 it returns "Page can not be found". I'm not sure why! My code is: <pre><code>$html = file_get_html($url); foreach($html->find('div[id=content]') as $element) { $content = $element->innertext; #Detect charset encoding of $content } </code></pre> URLs I'm working with: UTF-8: <a href="http://www.masrawy.com/news/Egypt/Politics/2013/March/3/5541050.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.masrawy.com/news/Egypt/Politics/2013/March/3/5541050.aspx</a> Windws-1256: <a href="http://www.youm7.com//News.asp?NewsID=965545" rel="nofollow">http://www.youm7.com//News.asp?NewsID=965545</a>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
