Hello All,

I am currently stumped, and have been looking around for an answer but
haven't found it. I hope i'm not wasting time with this one. I have an html
page im scraping this is in the header of the page..

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; Charset=iso-8859-1" />

Unfortunatly after grabing the data of the page with this line of code....

<?php

$url = "http://www.artbaselmiamibeach.com/ca/en/fpg/";
        $ch = curl_init ();
        curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);
        $data = curl_exec ($ch);
        curl_close ($ch);
           echo $data;

    preg_match("/<td valign=\"top\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">Artists at Art Basel
Miami Beach(.*<\/b>)<\/td>/s",$data, $artists);
    preg_match("/<b>(.*)<\/b>/s",$artists[1],$artists);
    $pattern = '/(<br\/>.)/s';
    $replacement = ',';
    echo preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $artists[1]);
    echo ",";

?>

All of the valuable foreign characters have been changed to question marks
for example of getting "Joan Miró" i get "Joan Mir?", and that is not good
for a project based on gathering data on a name.

Any suggestions?

Thanks again!
