i have tried many things to solve this but none worked.
im trying to import an excel file(xls/xlsx/csv) which contanins hebrew characters.
Every method i tried including fopen/php-excel-reader and others are outputing the data in gibberish , every attempt i have made to change the encoding to UTF-8 ended with the same results,
can you offer a solution for this problem ?
Thanks
Try changing in line 635 of excel_reader2.php to
$val = htmlentities($val);with$val = htmlentities($val,ENT_NOQUOTES, 'utf-8');I had the same problem in the past, and this worked like a charm.
