utf8_encode of cyrillic characters about php-excel HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks for your input! This was definitely an error I made when first starting 
out
with the library. This library can not solve all the different localization 
tasks
when it comes to different character sets. I have removed the utf8_encode() 
from the
code and added the option to set the global charset yourself in the branch of 
version 2:

http://code.google.com/p/php-excel/source/browse/#svn/branches/version02

When invoking the library you may set a new parameter in the constructor:

$xls = new Excel_XML('ISO-8859-2');

All headers of the output document will be set accordingly. It'd be great if you
could check this with cyrillic charset - this will be difficult to test for me.

The best way, nonetheless, will be to deliver native UTF-8 in the input array ;)

I will address this issue with a new version and/or a patch for version 1.

I have removed the utf8_encode from version 1.1 which is available now in the
[http://code.google.com/p/php-excel/downloads/list download section] of the 
project.
Additionally you may set the desired encoding in the constructor of the file. 
See the
attached readme.txt for details.

I still need to validate this with other charsets.
