PROBLEM: Changing the data from one Encoding style to another on the fly.


EXPLAINATION:
Most of the websites use  Windows-1256 or some other encoding style of displaying Arabic text while we are using the Most Standardized UTF-8 encoding style/ charset at our website and our related sites. Now the text/data in Arabic which we get from other websites cannot be displayed on our website as the data encoding is different.

I am working to make solution in PHP where I decode windows-1256 or any other format in which I receive the data to single Unicode or UTF-8 format, before storing in database and then displaying on web.
