I have this project in php in which my goal is to compare data from the database with some data I get from outlook, and if it's the same data i skip to the next row, otherwise I update.

The data in the DB comes like below:

$db = 'Meeting F2F Planung Meetings/Bilas 2018 2017-09-19 10:002017-09-19 12:0000KI Büro'

The data from outlook:

$outlook = 'Meeting F2F Planung Meetings/Bilas 2018
 2017-09-19 10:002017-09-19 12:0000KI Büro'

What i do is to get the data from outlook look like the one in DB is:

$outlook = (strip_tags(html_entity_decode($outlook))); 

I still get the 'Büro' when I transfrom the data from outlook, so when i compare $outlook and $event, they appear as not equal so in my project it updates.

By asking here I got to the code above, but in this case it doesn't seem to work.
