write utf-8 characters to file with fputcsv in php
character-encoding, encoding, php
Solution
Try this:
$df = fopen($filepath, 'w');
fprintf($df, chr(0xEF).chr(0xBB).chr(0xBF));
fputcsv($df, array($coupon->code, $discount->label));
the line `fprintf($df, chr(0xEF).chr(0xBB).chr(0xBF));` writes file header for correct encoding.
Problem
I want to try write Persian character in CSV file in PHP, I am using `fputcsv` function but how can write UTF-8 character to CSV file with `fputcsv`? Part of my code: ``` $df = fopen($filepath, 'w'); fputcsv($df, array($coupon->code, $discount->label)); ```
