  <p>I haven't been successful in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4722716/how-to-save-worksheets-as-csv-files-in-utf-8-format-with-excel-for-mac-2011">getting Excel for Mac VBA to export directly to UTF-8</a> so I want to convert these files with PHP before I save them to MySQL, I am using this command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$dataset[$k] = mb_convert_encoding($line, 'ASCII', 'UTF-8'); //not correctly converted
  $dataset[$k] = mb_convert_encoding($line, 'ISO-8859-8', 'UTF-8'); //not correctly converted
  $dataset[$k] = mb_convert_encoding($line, 'macintosh', 'UTF-8'); //unrecognized name
  $dataset[$k] = mb_convert_encoding($line, 'Windows-1251', 'UTF-8'); //changes "schön" to "schљn"
  $dataset[$k] = mb_convert_encoding($line, 'Windows-1252', 'UTF-8'); //changes "schön" to "schšn"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I found this <a href="http://www.eatmybusiness.com/food/2008/01/30/list-of-accepted-encodings-that-can-be-passed-to-mb_convert_encoding-as-arguments/63/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">list of valid encoding formats</a> from 2008, but none of them seem to represent <code>Western (Mac OS Roman)</code>.</p>
