I need to do this on the fly - but I found an answer on
(where else?) the
PHP.NET site! 8)
function demicrosoftize($str) {
return strtr($str,
"\x82\x83\x84\x85\x86\x87\x89\x8a" .
"\x8b\x8c\x8e\x91\x92\x93\x94\x95" .
"\x96\x97\x98\x99\x9a\x9b\x9c\x9e\x9f",
"'f\".**^\xa6<\xbc\xb4''" .
"\"\"---~ \xa8>\xbd\xb8\xbe");
}
and it seems to work quite well!
