This is an old revision of the document!

This is a very specific charset converter, but you should be able to rewrite the code to fit your own needs. It's meant to convert an XML file from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1, nothing else (well maybe the other way around too, I made support for that anyway).

NOTE: If you need anything else but XML, you need to change “Content-Type”. It should be very easy to make, I was just too lazy (maybe you can use $_FILES['changeme']['type'] - Please send me the changes if you do fix it).

<?php
// Which charsets do we support?
$charsets[] = "ISO-8859-1";
$charsets[] = "UTF-8";

if (!isset($_POST['charsetto'])) {
