Old File with Hebrew - opens illegibly

[tektippee]

Years ago, using PHP 4, and Homesite on Windows,
I had an array in a php file. The file contained Hebrew
text in some array entries.

The development environment today is PHP 5 on a Mac.
I'd like to rejuvenate my ancient code, but
cannot correctly open that php array file because the
Hebrew is transformed into illegible characters.
(Echoing the output yields gibberish as well.)

I now use TextWrangler as my text editor.
(Opening it in TextEdit also fails to display the stuff properly).

Can you help me resolve this problem? Thanks much.

Hi

Open and save files in a variety of character sets, including Unicode (UTF-8 and UTF-16) files

( TextWrangler Features | Text Editing and Manipulating )

I am quite sure your problem can be solved using TextWrangler. I would take a look at its Open/Save options.

Precisely what I was going to suggest. I've had issues with vbscript opening files containing jibberish. I then realized that it might be because of the character sets. It was.
