PHP IMAP Decode UTF-8 email body

Question

I have trouble with decoding email body with PHP. I have 2 UTF-8 emails, which structures are identical. For one I can decode the body with iconv("UTF-8", "Windows-1252", $data) For the other one this doesn't work. 1) I don't know what to use instead of this 2) How can I identified differentiate the 2 types of emails dynamically ?

                                    [value] => UTF-8
                                )
                        )
                )
        )
)

When I use imap_mime_header_decode on both data objects I get this :

Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [charset] => default
            [text] =>
...
)

Thanks in advance, Stiti

Answer 1

Problem solved : I used :

iconv("UTF-8", "Windows-1252//TRANSLIT//IGNORE", $data)

instead of :

iconv("UTF-8", "Windows-1252", $data)

And it works great now.
