Php utf 8 to windows 1252

I’m needing to convert a UTF-8 character set to Windows-1252 using PHP and i’m not having much luck thus far. My aim is to transfer text to a 3rd party system and exclude any characters not in the Windows-1252 character set.

I’ve tried both iconv and mb_convert_encoding but both give unexpected results.

$text = 'KØBENHAVN Ø ô& üü þþ';
echo iconv("UTF-8", "WINDOWS-1252", $text);
echo mb_convert_encoding($text, "WINDOWS-1252");

Output for both is ‘K?BENHAVN ? ?& ?? ??’

I would not have expected the ?’s as these characters are in the WINDOWS-1252 character set.

Can anyone help cast some light on this for me please.
