The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Problem reading UTF8 formatted file

Zones: PHP Scripting Language, PHP and Databases

Tags: php, utf8

Trying to read in TSV Unicode file and then insert the data into a MySQL database. This example is in Mandarin, but we'll be dealing with Turkish, Arabic, Japanese... the whole works. Reading the data out of the file (first var_dump()) appears to show most of the Chinese character symbols, but when getting the contents into the array using fgetcsv(), both the English and the Mandarin get garbled with the <?> character interspersed, and the Chinese characters disappear completely - I've tried using several techniques two of the latest are included in the first 4 lines of the while() loop, and have no discernable effect to readability (although the outputted garbage does change). Text file attached.
