Ok, issue sorted - for now anyway - helps to get some rest, and then
consider alternatives to a problem...
function morphString($sIn) {
$sOut = "";
for ($I = 0; $I < strlen($sIn); $I++) {
$sChr = $sIn[$I];
if (ord($sChr) >= 10 && ord($sChr) <= 126) {
$sOut .= chr(ord($sChr));
}
}//end of looping
Thanks - will check that out, but only issue is that this will need
end-users to try sort something like this out, and they won't necessarily be
the most technical types as such, and, I also wouldn't have too much control
over what they'd originally used to generate the content.
Am thinking th
Do not use Microsoft Word to save files that need to be read-in by other
software. Ever. It *always* finds a way to screw it up. Even if you cut and
paste it into the other program, I've heard cases where Word has put
unprintable control characters into the pasted output, that showed-up as
spaces i
Ok, specifically told that storage field to make use of UTF8_unicode_ci, and
tried re-uploading text file that specifically saved from word using UTF8
encoding, and, the text content is still full of garbage characters..?
Suppose might try something like copying/pasting from text file in notepa

Make sure the MySQL Db, table, field are correctly set for the encoding.
MySQL does not default to UTF-8
Ok, and, again, it hasn't completely eliminated issue, but has seemed to
sort out certain characters, but, not all of them..?

Ok, and, FWIW, this test text file is a word document that have saved as a
text file, and when now resaved it using specifically unicode encoding, it
seemd to eliminate this issue, but would have thought there might be a
relatively simple way to handle something like encoding conversion in PHP
Using the following bit of code, I am then saving the contents of an uploaded
text file into a mysql database, but, the issue seems to be that immediately
after retrieving the contents of the temporary path of the uploaded file, for
example, things like ' characters are rendering as ? characters
