Description:
------------
i upload a latin1 file to the debian server (move_uploaded_file)

this file is stored in utf8 (using utf8 translation in putty shows me correct chars, using latin1 translation shows me the multibyte chars...)

then i read the file into a var via file_get_contents and wonder why
mb_check_encoding( var, "UTF-8" ) returns false.

sending the var via browser to client with utf8 charset produces wrong data, so i probably have latin1 data in my var.

now i use utf8_encode( var ) and everything works fine.

what do i need to set to get utf8 data from file reads, or why do i need to encode it again?


Reproduce code:
---------------
move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][0], $file );

$data = file_get_contents( $file );

var_dump( array( 
  mb_check_encoding( $data, "UTF-8" ), 
  mb_check_encoding( utf8_encode( $data ), "UTF-8" ) );





Expected result:
----------------
[ true, true ]

Actual result:
--------------
[ false, true ]
