Google is your friend. I googled php utf8 and found this:

Thanks for the info. but i didn't understand yet... the link that they gave of "jdkaye" is how to convert file into utf8. but my problem is how to output the utf8 format on the text area... because my tool that i make is not for converting utf8 file. but converting utf8 file to ASCII format.

Thanks for rply.

I tried to explain to you that google is your friend. You apparently are unwilling to learn and want others to do your work for you. I think this is want you're looking for but given your attitude I will not answer any more requests from you without some willingness to work on your part.
<<removed because this is homework>>
Anyone willing to spend 5 seconds searching could have found this.
I reviewed your other posts and found you said this:

Since my assignment is how to convert utf 8 to ascii format.
We are not here to do your homework for you.

goodbye,

I'll give a hint. Look for a library with the same name as the Linux command that converts text.
There is an online manual for php on the web. Do your homework by reading through it and you will find the answer.

mlibot;

In your first thread, you were advised as to how to find the info you were looking for, but you kept asking the same question and **appeared** to be unwilling to do you own work. That resulted in the thread being closed.

We try to give the benefit of the doubt and we will help with homework when it is obvious that a person is putting out an effort.

In this case, please acknowledge that you have looked at ALL the links provided---including those in the previous threads---, tell us what you have found, and what you still don't understand.
