In this code, i want to print the characters properly as given in the file. 1 solution is to save the file in UTF-8 format. Is there any other way of doing it?

    Saving the file as UTF-8 is insufficient. You should also signal the HTTP client (browser) that it’s a UTF-8 document.
    This can be done in two ways:

    1. By forcing the server to send appropriate headers – this usually means you must have the ability to at least somewhat alter the server’s configuration.
    2. Insert <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" /> into <head> element.

    To your original question, the encoding of the PHP file can be different – you’ll just have to re-encode the string from the local encoding to UTF-8 before you send it.
