Because some characters are encoded the same in both ISO-8859-7 and UTF-8. So even though you program was buggy, you still happened to get some correct output.

But the data that actually got prined correctly weren't greek characters. They were data composed of english letters like "/home/nikos/public_html/data/text".

Despite the "but", that doesn't contradict what I said. Those are characters that are encoded the same in both ISO-8859-7 and UTF-8.

Specifically, U+0020..U+007E are encoded the same in ASCII, ISO-8859-* and UTF-8.
