  2. \r\n
    Now change the lines below:<\/p>\r\n
    if (function_exists('iconv'))\r\n{\r\n\/\/ These are settings that can be set inside code\r\niconv_set_encoding(\"internal_encoding\", \"UTF-8\");\r\niconv_set_encoding(\"input_encoding\", \"UTF-8\");\r\niconv_set_encoding(\"output_encoding\", \"UTF-8\");\r\n}<\/pre>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  3. \r\n
    to the following:<\/p>\r\n
    if (function_exists('iconv') && PHP_VERSION_ID < 50600)\r\n{\r\n\/\/ These are settings that can be set inside code\r\niconv_set_encoding(\"internal_encoding\", \"UTF-8\");\r\niconv_set_encoding(\"input_encoding\", \"UTF-8\");\r\niconv_set_encoding(\"output_encoding\", \"UTF-8\");\r\n}\r\nelseif (PHP_VERSION_ID >= 50600)\r\n{\r\nini_set(\"default_charset\", \"UTF-8\");\r\n}<\/pre>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
