title: PHP convert string from windows-1250 to utf-8
body: <p>I'm crawling windows-1250 site (meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1250").</p>
  
  <p>Since my database is utf-8, I need to convert data to utf-8.</p>
  
  <p>For that job I tried iconv('windows-1250', 'UTF-8', $s); it gives "Ã„Åšarls" instead "Čarls".</p>
  
  <p>It gives a bit better results when encodings switch places iconv('UTF-8', 'windows-1250', $s);  gives "Èarls" instead "Čarls". Strange.</p>
  
  <p>Do you have any idea how can I convert this to utf-8?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
