how to dump latin1 encoded tables to utf8 encoded tables in MYSQL?

Question

I can dump the data through phpmyadmin, then use

$utf8 = iconv('latin1','utf-8//IGNORE',$latin1);

to convert it into utf8 encoding,

but see many messy code

Answer 1

Please use "mb_convert_encoding "

example:

$utf8data = mb_convert_encoding($latindata,"utf-8","latin1");
