Detect character encodings

Hi guys,

I got a lot of txt files, and I need to detect encoding of them. I need to call some function, which will tell me encoding of input string and it will return name of encoding, for example UTF8, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2...

I tried http://sk.php.net/manual/en/function.mb ... coding.php but it doesnt work properly. mb_detect_encoding('skúška'); returns UTF-8, what is wrong.

Anybody ?

Thank you.
