Html entity decode issue using html2pdf

Question

I'm trying to display strings of text fetched from a database in a PDF document correctly. What I can't figure out is the following.

I'm using fpdf and html2pdf for the generation of the PDF document. After I fetched my information from my DB I use:

iconv('UTF-8', 'windows-1252', $data);

This displays correctly in the PDF document if I use:

$pdf->Cell();

But when I use:

$pdf->WriteHtmlCell();

it seems that it has decoding issues. It seems to be in another charset because ù turns into ù and Ä into Ä and so on. I have tried to convert it to UTF-8 (which it is originally in) or ISO, but I keep getting the same result. When I run a

mb_detect_encoding();

on the string it always comes back as ASCII (that is UTF-8?).

Is WriteHtmlCell(); using another encoding?

试试这个

html_entity_decode($your_data, ENT_XHTML,"ISO-8859-1");
