i have a mp3 class to read mp3s for my site. (i cannot install the module since its a shared hosting). i upload the mp3 and then the system read it using my class and insert into my mysql the file name and location, and the basic tag (artist, song name, album). the mysql insert is ok but i have problem with the strings i am inserting.
here's my code: http://pastebin.com/fXsm0c3T

print_R($id3->info);
now, when i read the value i get this:
Array
(
[genre] => ��Rock
[title] => ��Walk
[artist] => ��Foo Fighters
[album] => ��Wasting Light
)
what is wrong with my code?
based on your code, the $value needs to be trim or converted to UTF (I prefer converting to UTF).
I added function that will check which UTF is the mp3 and parse it correctly:
$value = $this->filter($value, $tag); // convert to UTF or else that is why you have weird chars
Here's a readable code.

Why does this work?
date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Currie');
But this doesn't seem to take any effect at all?
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
This value doesn't change when setting the timezone to UTC:
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', time());
I'm using php 5.2.13, and the timezone of my server is:
$server_tz = date_default_timezone_get();
echo $server_tz; //outputs 'America/Guayaquil'
This is the original code:
echo time() . "<br>\n";
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
echo time() . "<br>\n";
Output:
1317235130
1317235130
The problem is that you're displaying time(), which is a UNIX timestamp based on GMT/UTC. That’s why it doesn’t change. date() on the other hand, formats the time based on that timestamp.
A timestamp is the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch (January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT).
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s T', time()) . "<br>\n";
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s T', time()) . "<br>\n";
UTC is definitely a valid timezone. It is simply an abbreviation for Coordinated Universal Time. In addition, remember that date_default_timezone_set accepts one of the following values:

Is 'UTC' a valid timezone identifier on your system?
<?php
if (date_default_timezone_set('UTC')){
echo "UTC is a valid time zone";
}else{
echo "The system doesn't know WTFUTC. Maybe try updating tzinfo with your package manager?";
}
In PHP DateTime (PHP >= 5.3)
$dt = new DateTime();
$dt->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
echo $dt->getTimestamp();
