PHP file_get_contents specific encoding

Question

i have one special issue with file_get_contents in PHP, here is code:

$html = file_get_contents("http://www.bratm.sk/trochu-harlem-inspiracie-zaslite-nam-svoj-super-harlem-shake-ak-bude-husty-zverejnime-ho");

it gives me something like this

í}KsŰĆŇčÚŽň!Ç& zRŚ|iI[#)öIkI ĆĺăĹŮÝĹÍý_ŐŃâ[EVßîV%Ů˙ëvĎ ř)śG#óčééééÇĚ çáÜöÁÖÉ;¤áˇ,rřĂăçť[DQ5íeaKÓśOśÉ?ě='šL¸ÔöLßä6ľ4mg_!JĂ÷˘Śu:L§án];9ŇÎV+Ş¨1|C

That page is in UTF-8. You need to set the header to match:

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

What exactly are you doing with it? Storing it the DB? Looking for something within it? Did you see: stackoverflow.com/questions/2236668/…

I already tried solutions in that topic, and actualy it works, but not in all pages... for example try that exact page which is in example and yes, i need to save some content to DB - Open Graph data

Use cURL. This function is an alternative to file_get_contents.

function url_get_contents($Url) {
if (!function_exists('curl_init')){
    die('CURL is not installed!');
}
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $Url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $output;
}
$data = url_get_contents("http://www.bratm.sk/trochu-harlem-inspiracie-zaslite-nam-svoj-super-harlem-shake-ak-bude-husty-zverejnime-ho/");
print_r($data);

I edited my post and there is working code. What I noticed in your comment that you don't need ";" after function..

its totaly weird but now this page works... but another "http://www.bratm.sk/viagra-jedine-vysvetlenie-ako-tam-ta-zena-drzi-d-d/" still not, can you try this one too?

if(curl_errno($ch)) { return 'error:' . curl_error($ch); } php.net/manual/en/function.curl-error.php

I think you're looking for something like this

$opts = array('http' => array('header' => 'Accept-Charset: UTF-8, *;q=0'));
$context = stream_context_create($opts);

$filename = "http://www.bratm.sk/trochu-harlem-inspiracie-zaslite-nam-svoj-super-harlem-    shake-ak-bude-husty-zverejnime-ho";
echo file_get_contents($filename, false, $context);
