PHP CSV regex in string

Question

I have a csv file. In this, I have a bad character : arr‰t. I would this "arret"

I test this : $bodytag = str_replace("‰", "e",$content); doesn't work.

So I search a query which I say : find a word start with "arr" and end with "t" and remplace all the string by "arret". I find a function to get content between but I can't do my query.

    function str_between($str,$start,$end) {
  if (preg_match_all('/' . preg_quote($start) . '(.*?)' . preg_quote($end) . '/',$str,$matches)) {
   return $matches[1];
  }
  // no matches
  return false;
}

Can you help me?

Did you try preg_replace('/‰/', 'e', $string); ?
It works for me, with the string "arr‰t", preg_replace returns me "arret"

Sorry, but it works for this preg_replace('/‰/', 'e', "arr‰t"); but not when I do this : $fp=fopen($file,"r"); $content=fread($fp,$sizefile); $bodytag = preg_replace("/‰/", "e",$bodytag); echo $content;

Try to convert $content from ANSI to UTF-8, using iconv then do an echo $content;

When I do echo iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1", $content), PHP_EOL; The content stop to the first "‰". If I do echo iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1//IGNORE", $content), PHP_EOL; I see all content and the word is now "arrt"

If $content is ANSI encoded do : iconv("ANSI", "UTF-8", $content) or iconv("Windows-1252", "UTF-8", $content)

By the way, I think it's just an encoding problem, and you'll not need regulars expressions to get an human readable $content.

My 2 cents: Your file might have encoded characters not supported by the doctype specified. Arret in French has a small "hat" over top of the "e", as in "ê". Check to see if that can be searched and/or replaced as/with ê or ê
