Yes tried file -i and it tells me it is a regular file. By big blue land, I assume you mean IBM? If that's the case yes I am using an AIX machine therefore auto_ef and enca are unrecognized commands. Yet to try chardet...I'll have to dig deeper. Thanks though!

mb_internal_encoding - Set/Get internal character encoding
SYNOPSIS
mixed mb_internal_encoding ([string $encoding = mb_internal_encoding()])
DESCRIPTION

PARAMETERS
o $encoding
-$encoding is the character encoding name used for the HTTP input character encoding conversion, HTTP output character encoding
conversion, and the default character encoding for string functions defined by the mbstring module. You should notice that the
internal encoding is totally different from the one for multibyte regex.

<?php
/* Set internal character encoding to UTF-8 */
mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");
/* Display current internal character encoding */
echo mb_internal_encoding();
?>
