Dear Folks:

I have been searching various posts on this subject and have yet to find a solution, so...

First, I am running an IMac with OS X 10.4.11. After retrieving text from a web page with Curl/PHP, certain characters are replaced by cryptic characters.

For example:

"I had a few teachers call me and ask what happened when I shut the stream down," said Steve. "I guess they really enjoyed it."

becomes:

ìI had a few teachers call me and ask what happened when I shut the stream down,î said Steve. ìI guess they really enjoyed it.î

A copyright mark (&copy in html) becomes Æ, and a long dash becomes ó.

After reading through the archived posts, I have come to the conclusion the problem is most likely in my system's support for UTF-8. Has anyone else out there run into a similar problem, and if so, what solution did you find, if any?

Thanks in advance.

Ralph
