Hello everyone. How can I fix special characters cannot be set to PHPExcel cells (returns empty string)? I tried to run the code below with or without yii framework. But the problem only exist when using yii.
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0)
->setCellValue('A1', 'Hello')
->setCellValue('B2', 'world!')
->setCellValue('C1', 'Hello')
->setCellValue('D2', 'world!');
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0)
->setCellValue('A4', 'Miscellaneous glyphs')
->setCellValue('A5', 'éàèùâêîôûëïüÿäöüç');
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setTitle('Simple');
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
echo $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('A1')->getValue();
//problem
echo $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('A5')->getValue();//what's wrong; didn't echo out "éàèùâêîôûëïüÿäöüç"
echo $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('A4')->getValue();
die;
