Answer 1

It's Working: Enjoy
use this before fputcsv:

$line = array_map("utf8_decode", $line);

Answer 2

Default encoding for an excel file is machine specific ANSI, mainly windows1252. But since you are creating that file and maybe inserting UTF-8 characters, that file is not going to be handled ok.

You could use iconv() when creating the file. Eg:

function encodeCSV(&$value, $key){
    $value = iconv('UTF-8', 'Windows-1252', $value);
}
array_walk($values, 'encodeCSV');
