Exporting text with special chars from MySQL/PHP into Excel

Question

I need to export some data from MySQL database. Problem is that I have extended latin characters in it, like Š Đ Ć Č Ž and when I do classic export, my words looks like: ÄorÄ‘eviÄ‡ or BoÅ¾iloviÄ‡, and should look like Đorđević / Božilović

Have you looked at any of the libraries written for PHP that can write Excel data files? In addition to my own http://phpexcel.codeplex.com you'll find a list here at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3930975/alternative-for-php-excel — Mark Baker, Dec 11 '12 at 07:28
