error while encoding a txt file to win-1252

Hi there,

I have a problem with encoding a file .txt to win-1252.

$text = recode_string("ISO-8859-1..win-1252", $text);

but I get the following error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: recode_string()

the same when I trie to recode the whole file

with recode_file.

Perhaps wrong Parameters ?
but wwhich instead ?
or sombody who knows another solution.
Will be glad about every hint and hope the question is not to silly for this
group,

greetings, Paula

Recode Functions are not available on Windows platforms

Maybe iconv() will do what you want?

Something like (not tested, never used iconv())

$text = iconv('ISO-8859-1', 'win-1252', $text);
