How To Generate A 'western (windows-1252)' File Using Php?

I would like to create a php form with 3 to 5 fields
and then generate an (Encoded) Western (Windows-1252)' file out of it.

Any guides?

 

That's kind of an odd request given that PHP, being meant to built markup, is pretty much meant NOT to use that character encoding -- that encoding on the whole being something that has no business being used on anything newer than Windows 3.1

That said, I believe this function:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php

is what you are looking for.

 

What i want to do, is similar to this: xmlprov.com/apc
It will generate: download.prov and download.zip –
and the file .prov is 'western (windows-1252)' file and same also on the zip file.

 

Uhm... why would a nokia config file be 1252 multibyte? I thought those were 8-bit raw byte -- the closest you'd find in PHP would be codepage-437 (IBM 8 Bit extended ASCII) which iconv would call "CP437"

do you have any hard docs on that format, my google-fu is failing me; but being a raw data format PHP would probably NOT be the tool I'd try to build it with.

 

Here is sample xml from it:

Code (markup):

 

I don't know how to compile that xml to output that file.
8 byte raw data, or what kind of file it is.

 

Here is an Windows Script to generate such file: http://www.mediafire.com/?7xkq5dk11d86gf3

 

I'm not sure what you mean by "compile that xml to output that file", but you could put that exact text into a text file, then read the file to the user.
