Specials chars replaced by strange chars

[Nicolas Nguyen]

Hey, i got a small problem in PHP.
When i try to get some data from a file (fopen), it replaces special chars
by weird chars.

Example :
Français instead of Français.
thème instead of thême...

Anyone got an idea about how to correct this ?
THanks !!

utf8_decode()

worked here ... but changed "thème" to "thème"

I havent looked into it, but a band-aid would be something like this

$s = strtr($s,"fF","rR");

This will repalce chr's one for one, the first chr in string2 will replace
all occurances of the first chr of string1
in the exmaple above, all f will become r and all F will become R

just an idea
