Problem opening map file

Hi,

I'm trying to convert text from UTF8 to ISO-8859-1, but I get an error message: "ERR_OPEN_MAP_FILE : Error openning file: ISO88591.MAP"

I'm using this code:

$utfConverter = new utf8(ISO88591);
$utfConverter->loadCharset("ISO88591");

and I'm using this map file:
amidasu.de/ISO88591.MAP

In utf8.class.php I use this code:

define("ISO88591", "ISO88591.MAP");

How do I get rid of the error? It should work, shouldn't it? :)

Thanks for any help,
René

Hi,

This line:
define("ISO88591", "ISO88591.MAP");
will work only if the PHP file that loads the class is located in the same directory as the MAP file.
In the original class file it is done like this:
define("MAP_DIR",".");
define("CP1250",MAP_DIR . "/CP1250.MAP");

The MAP_DIR constant always points to the directory where MAP files are located.

Hope this helps,

Alex
