solution:

$workbook = & new Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer();
$workbook->setVersion(8);
$contents =& $workbook->addWorksheet(’Logistics’);
$contents->setInputEncoding(’UTF-8′);

Hello everybody.

I tried all the solutions that you mentioned, but they didn’t work….the utf-8 characters appear incorrectly. There is another solution available???

I worked out a solution with wordpress and Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer, pulling data out of the loop and generating Excel sheets. German umlaut characters were all wrong. In my case the solution is the other way around:

$goodvalue = mb_convert_encoding($badvalue, “ISO-8859-1″, “UTF-8″);

It makes no sense but it works!

mb_convert_encoding($value, “UTF-8″,”ISO-8859-1″);
