utf8_encode (PHP 3 >= 3.0.6, PHP 4, PHP 5) utf8_encode -- Encodes an ISO-8859-1 string to UTF-8 Descriptionstring utf8_encode ( string data )
This function encodes the string data to
UTF-8, and returns the encoded version.
UTF-8 is a standard mechanism used by
Unicode for encoding wide
character values into a byte stream.
UTF-8 is transparent to plain ASCII
characters, is self-synchronized (meaning it is possible for a program to
figure out where in the bytestream characters start) and can be used with
normal string comparison functions for sorting and such. PHP encodes
UTF-8 characters in up to four bytes, like this:
Таблица 1. UTF-8 encoding | bytes | bits | representation |
|---|
| 1 | 7 | 0bbbbbbb | | 2 | 11 | 110bbbbb 10bbbbbb | | 3 | 16 | 1110bbbb 10bbbbbb 10bbbbbb | | 4 | 21 | 11110bbb 10bbbbbb 10bbbbbb 10bbbbbb |
Each b represents a bit that can be
used to store character data.

I had some difficulty finding a way to easily write UTF-8 files with the byte order mark included. This is the simple solution I have come up with:
<?php
function writeUTF8File($filename,$content) {
$dhandle=fopen($filename,"w");
fwrite($dhandle, pack("CCC",0xef,0xbb,0xbf));
fwrite($dhandle,$content);
fclose($dhandle);
}
?>
When you read the file back in using fopen, the BOM will also be there. To remove it, I also wrote the following function:
<?php
function removeBOM($str=""){
if(substr($str, 0,3) == pack("CCC",0xef,0xbb,0xbf)) {
$str=substr($str, 3);
}
return $str;
}
?>

If you are looking for a function to replace special characters with the hex-utf-8 value (e.g. für Webservice-Security/WSS4J compliancy) you might use this:
$textstart = "Größe";
$utf8 ='';
$max = strlen($txt);
for ($i = 0; $i < $max; $i++) {
if ($txt{i} == "&"){
$neu = "&x26;";
}
elseif ((ord($txt{$i}) < 32) or (ord($txt{$i}) > 127)){
$neu = urlencode(utf8_encode($txt{$i}));
$neu = preg_replace('#\%(..)\%(..)\%(..)#','&#x\1;&#x\2;&#x\3;',$neu);
$neu = preg_replace('#\%(..)\%(..)#','&#x\1;&#x\2;',$neu);
$neu = preg_replace('#\%(..)#','&#x\1;',$neu);
}
else {
$neu = $txt{$i};
}
$utf8 .= $neu;
} // for $i
$textnew = $utf8;
In this example $textnew will be "Größe"

I recommend using this alternative for every language:
$new=mb_convert_encoding($s,"UTF-8","auto");
Don't forget to set all your pages to "utf-8" encoding, otherwise just use HTML entities.

Here's my function to know if one string is encoded in UTF8.
If we encode in UTF8 a string or text file that is already encoded in UTF8, it's expected to find the character '' ( ALT+159) in the final string.
<?php
function isUTF8($string)
{
$string_utf8 = utf8_encode($string);
if( strpos($string_utf8,"",0) !== false ) return true; else
return false; }
?>

I was searching for a function similar to Javascript's unescape(). In most cases it is OK to use url_decode() function but not if you've got UTF characters in the strings. They are converted into %uXXXX entities that url_decode() cannot handle.
I googled the net and found a function which actualy converts these entities into HTML entities (&#xxx;) that your browser can show correctly. If you're OK with that, the function can be found here: http://pure-essence.net/stuff/code/utf8RawUrlDecode.phps
But it was not OK with me because I needed a string in my charset to make some comparations and other stuff. So I have modified the above function and in conjuction with code2utf() function mentioned in some other note here, I have managed to achieve my goal:
<?php
function unescape($source, $iconv_to = 'UTF-8') {
$decodedStr = '';
$pos = 0;
$len = strlen ($source);
while ($pos < $len) {
$charAt = substr ($source, $pos, 1);
if ($charAt == '%') {
$pos++;
$charAt = substr ($source, $pos, 1);
if ($charAt == 'u') {
$pos++;
$unicodeHexVal = substr ($source, $pos, 4);
$unicode = hexdec ($unicodeHexVal);
$decodedStr .= code2utf($unicode);
$pos += 4;
}
else {
$hexVal = substr ($source, $pos, 2);
$decodedStr .= chr (hexdec ($hexVal));
$pos += 2;
}
}
else {
$decodedStr .= $charAt;
$pos++;
}
}
if ($iconv_to != "UTF-8") {
$decodedStr = iconv("UTF-8", $iconv_to, $decodedStr);
}
return $decodedStr;
}
function code2utf($num){
if($num<128)return chr($num);
if($num<2048)return chr(($num>>6)+192).chr(($num&63)+128);
if($num<65536)return chr(($num>>12)+224).chr((($num>>6)&63)+128).chr(($num&63)+128);
if($num<2097152)return chr(($num>>18)+240).chr((($num>>12)&63)+128).chr((($num>>6)&63)+128) .chr(($num&63)+128);
return '';
}

if you want to put variables as parameter in a flashfile, i prefer using to convert the string with utf8_encode() [or preg_replace, or iconv] and after this i encode it with urlencode();
<?php
$yourstring="yourstring";
$str_utf8=utf8_encode($yourstring);
$str_encoded=urlencode($str_utf8);
echo "<script language='javascript'>";
echo "parameterForFlash='".$str_encoded."';";
echo "</script>";
?>
now you can use the variable (parameterForFlash) in your javascript (plugindetection), that writes the flash object/embed.

For reference, it may be insightful to point out that:
utf8_encode($s)
is actually identical to:
recode_string('latin1..utf8', $s)
and:
iconv('iso-8859-1', 'utf-8', $s)
That is, utf8_encode is a specialized case of character set conversions.
If your string to be converted to utf-8 is something other than iso-8859-1 (such as iso-8859-2 (Polish/Croatian)), you should use recode_string() or iconv() instead rather than trying to devise complex str_replace statements.

The following Perl regular expression tests if a string is well-formed Unicode UTF-8 (Broken up after each | since long lines are not permitted here. Please join as a single line, no spaces, before use.):
^([\x00-\x7f]|
[\xc2-\xdf][\x80-\xbf]|
\xe0[\xa0-\xbf][\x80-\xbf]|
[\xe1-\xec][\x80-\xbf]{2}|
\xed[\x80-\x9f][\x80-\xbf]|
[\xee-\xef][\x80-\xbf]{2}|
f0[\x90-\xbf][\x80-\xbf]{2}|
[\xf1-\xf3][\x80-\xbf]{3}|
\xf4[\x80-\x8f][\x80-\xbf]{2})*$
NOTE: This strictly follows the Unicode standard 4.0, as described in chapter 3.9, table 3-6, "Well-formed UTF-8 byte sequences" ( http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.0.0/ch03.pdf#G31703 ).
ISO-10646, a super-set of Unicode, uses UTF-8 (there called "UCS", see http://www.unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#1 ) in a relaxed variant that supports a 31-bit space encoded into up to six bytes instead of Unicode's 21 bits in up to four bytes. To check for ISO-10646 UTF-8, use the following Perl regular expression (again, broken up, see above):
^([\x00-\x7f]|
[\xc0-\xdf][\x80-\xbf]|
[\xe0-\xef][\x80-\xbf]{2}|
[\xf0-\xf7][\x80-\xbf]{3}|
[\xf8-\xfb][\x80-\xbf]{4}|
[\xfc-\xfd][\x80-\xbf]{5})*$
The following function may be used with above expressions for a quick UTF-8 test, e.g. to distinguish ISO-8859-1-data from UTF-8-data if submitted from a <form accept-charset="utf-8,iso-8859-1" method=..>.
function is_utf8($string) {
return (preg_match('/[insert regular expression here]/', $string) === 1);

return @!((ord($enc[0]) != 239) && (ord($enc[1]) != 187) && (ord($enc[2]) != 191));
}
else
{
return (utf8_encode(utf8_decode($string)) == $string);
}
}

Thanks for providing your nice conversion code, however due to some missing parenthesis 4-byte utf-8 chars are not converted properly.
Here is a corrected version of the code2utf function:
function code2utf($num){
if($num<128)return chr($num);
if($num<1024)return chr(($num>>6)+192).chr(($num&63)+128);
if($num<32768)return chr(($num>>12)+224).chr((($num>>6)&63)+128).chr(($num&63)+128);

If you haven't guessed already: If the UTF-8 character has no representation in the ISO-8859-1 codepage, a ? will be returned. You might want to wrap a function around this to make sure you aren't saving a bunch of ???? into your database.

Note that you should only use utf8_encode() on ISO-8859-1 data, and not on data using the Windows-1252 codepage. Microsoft's Windows-1252 codepage contains ISO-8859-1, but it includes several characters in the range 0x80-0x9F whose codepoints in Unicode do not match the byte's value (in Unicode, codepoints U+80 - U+9F are unassigned).
utf8_encode() simply assumes the bytes integer value is the codepoint number in Unicode.
E.g. in 1252, byte 0x80 is the euro sign, which is U+20AC. The same goes for curly quotes, em dashes, etc.
utf8_encode() will convert 0x80 into U+0080 (an unassigned codepoint) rather than U+20AC.
To convert 1252 to UTF-8, use iconv, recode or mbstring.

I often need to convert multi language text sent to me for use in websites and other apps into UTF8 encoded so I can insert it into source code and databases.
I knocked up a small web page with its charset set to UTF8 then set it up so I can paste from the original doc (eg word or excel) and have the page return the UTF8 encoded version.
Of course the browser will convert the unicode to UTF8 for you as part of the submit (I use IE5 or better for this) then all you have to do in the PHP is encode the UTF8 so the browser will show it in its raw form.
Its a bit bulky but I just convert ALL character to html numbered entities (brute force and ignorance does it again.)
I've used this to encode everything from Hebrew to Japanese without problems
<?
header("Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8");
$code = (get_magic_quotes_gpc())?stripslashes($GLOBALS[code]):$GLOBALS[code];
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>UTF8 ENCODER PAGE</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<form method=post action="?seed=<?=time()?>">
Original Unicode<br />
<textarea name="code" cols="80" rows="10"><?=$code?></textarea><br />
Encoded UTF8<br />
<textarea name="encd" cols="80" rows="10"><?
for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($code); $i++) {
echo '&#'.ord(substr($code,$i,1));
}
?></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="encode">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Good news is that utf8_encode (like UTF-8) passes '<', '>', '/', '\'', '"', etc., so you are free to utf8_encode complete blocks of html text that includes tags.
Bad news is that UTF-8 is stupid enough so that utf8_encode(utf8_encode($str)) != utf8_encode($str) in most of the cases. What you can do is write utf8_ensure like:
function utf8_ensure($str) {
return seems_utf8($str)? $str: utf8_encode($str);
}
Comes handy when your view library tries to encode the same text multiple times.

Here is an improved version of that function, compatible with 31-bit encoding scheme of Unicode 3.x :
<?php
function seems_utf8($Str) {
for ($i=0; $i<strlen($Str); $i++) {
if (ord($Str[$i]) < 0x80) continue; elseif ((ord($Str[$i]) & 0xE0) == 0xC0) $n=1; elseif ((ord($Str[$i]) & 0xF0) == 0xE0) $n=2; elseif ((ord($Str[$i]) & 0xF8) == 0xF0) $n=3; elseif ((ord($Str[$i]) & 0xFC) == 0xF8) $n=4; elseif ((ord($Str[$i]) & 0xFE) == 0xFC) $n=5; else return false; for ($j=0; $j<$n; $j++) { if ((++$i == strlen($Str)) || ((ord($Str[$i]) & 0xC0) != 0x80))
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
?>

Here is a simple function that can help, if you want to know if a string could be UTF-8 or not :
<?php
function seems_utf8($Str) {
for ($i=0; $i<strlen($Str); $i++) {
if (ord($Str[$i]) < 0x80) $n=0; elseif ((ord($Str[$i]) & 0xE0) == 0xC0) $n=1; elseif ((ord($Str[$i]) & 0xF0) == 0xE0) $n=2; elseif ((ord($Str[$i]) & 0xF0) == 0xF0) $n=3; else return false; for ($j=0; $j<$n; $j++) { if ((++$i == strlen($Str)) || ((ord($Str[$i]) & 0xC0) != 0x80)) return false;
}
}
return true;
}

Re the previous post about converting GB2312 code to Unicode code which displayed the following function:
<?
function gb2unicode($gb)
{
if(!trim($gb))
return $gb;
$filename="gb2312.txt";
$tmp=file($filename);
$codetable=array();
while(list($key,$value)=each($tmp))
$codetable[hexdec(substr($value,0,6))]=substr($value,9,4);
$utf="";
while($gb)
{
if (ord(substr($gb,0,1))>127)
{
$this=substr($gb,0,2);
$gb=substr($gb,2,strlen($gb));
$utf.="&#x".$codetable[hexdec(bin2hex($this))-0x8080].";";
}
else
{
$gb=substr($gb,1,strlen($gb));
$utf.=substr($gb,0,1);
}
}
return $utf;
}
?>
I found that a small change was needed in the code to properly handle latin characters embedded in the middle of gb2312 text, as when the text includes a URL or email address. Just reverse the two lines in the part of the statement above that handles ord vals !>127.
Change:
$gb=substr($gb,1,strlen($gb));
$utf.=substr($gb,0,1);
to:
$utf.=substr($gb,0,1);
$gb=substr($gb,1,strlen($gb));
In the original function, the first latin chacter was dropped and it was not converting the first non-latin character after the latin text (everything was shifted one character too far to the right). Reversing those two lines makes it work correctly in every example I have tried.
Also, the source of the gb2312.txt file needed for this to work has changed. You can find it a couple places:
http://tcl.apache.org/sources/tcl/tools/encoding/gb2312.txt

Loading variables in flash
you can lost a lot of hours if your charset is not iso-88951 and you cant' see your characters in flash
you must use iconv instead with your codepage
(for example windows-1251 for ukrainian, russian)
$fw = fopen("flash_input.txt", "w");
if( $fw )
{
$utf = iconv("windows-1251","UTF-8",$variable_value);
$out = 'variable_name='.$utf;
fputs($fw, $out);
fclose($fw);
}
and no urlecode is needed if you save data in file!

There is a function for converting GB2312 code to Unicode code.It maybe useful for programming on XML/WML in non-English lanaguages.
<?
function gb2unicode($gb)
{
if(!trim($gb))
return $gb;
$filename="gb2312.txt";
$tmp=file($filename);
$codetable=array();
while(list($key,$value)=each($tmp))
$codetable[hexdec(substr($value,0,6))]=substr($value,9,4);
$utf="";
while($gb)
{
if (ord(substr($gb,0,1))>127)
{
$this=substr($gb,0,2);
$gb=substr($gb,2,strlen($gb));
$utf.="&#x".$codetable[hexdec(bin2hex($this))-0x8080].";";
}
else
{
$gb=substr($gb,1,strlen($gb));
$utf.=substr($gb,0,1);
}
}
return $utf;
}
?>
This function requires a code list of gb2312,you can download it at

To make utf8_encode and utf8_decode support other than iso-8859-1 encodings, you can easily define your encoding in the PHP source.
In the file PHP_SOURCE/ext/xml/xml.c add the following code, for e.g. greek iso-8859-7:
DEFINE TWO NEW FUNCTIONS UP TOP:
inline static unsigned short xml_encode_iso_8859_7(unsigned char);
inline static char xml_decode_iso_8859_7(unsigned short);
AND THEN IMPLEMENT THEM BELOW:
/* {{{ xml_encode_iso_8859_7() - Dimitris Daskopoulos 28/8/02 */
/* map iso-8859-7 chars to Unicode chars */
inline static unsigned short xml_encode_iso_8859_7(unsigned char c)
{
if (c < 0x80) { /* low-ASCII, leave as is */
return (unsigned short)c;
} else { /* Greek character in high-ASCII */
/* map to UCS greek range (U+0310..03ff) */
/* assume that c < 0xff */
return (unsigned short)(c + 720);
}
}
/* }}} */
/* {{{ xml_decode_iso_8859_7() - Dimitris Daskopoulos 28/8/02 */
/* map Unicode chars to iso-8859-7 chars */
inline static char xml_decode_iso_8859_7(unsigned short c)
{
if (c < 0x100) { /* char in latin chart, leave as is */
return (char)c;
} else if (c > 0x030f && c < 0x0400) { /* char in greek chart */
/* map back to ISO-8859-7 greek (high-ASCII) */
return (char)(c - 720);
} else { /* char not in latin or greek Unicode charts */
/* return question mark character */
return (char)('?');
}
}
/* }}} */
These two work fine for greek iso-8859-7, but studying http://www.unicode.org/charts you
can implement mappings between unicode and other iso-8859-x quite easily.
In both functions (utf8_encode and utf8_decode), change the requested encoding to the one you prefer, e.g.
encoded = xml_utf8_encode(Z_STRVAL_PP(arg), Z_STRLEN_PP(arg), &len, "ISO-8859-7");
decoded = xml_utf8_decode(Z_STRVAL_PP(arg), Z_STRLEN_PP(arg), &len, "ISO-8859-7");
Make sure you add the new encoding
in the structure, by entering a new
row with the official name (ISO-8859-7), and the names of the
two functions you have just defined:
xml_encoding xml_encodings[] = {
{ "ISO-8859-1", xml_decode_iso_8859_1, xml_encode_iso_8859_1 },
{ "US-ASCII", xml_decode_us_ascii, xml_encode_us_ascii },
{ "UTF-8", NULL, NULL },
{ "ISO-8859-7", xml_decode_iso_8859_7, xml_encode_iso_8859_7 },
{ NULL, NULL, NULL }
};
Finally, the following is probably not necessary, but I changed the default encoding (found in 2 spots in this file) to whatever encoding you prefer in your
pages, e.g.:
XML(default_encoding) = "ISO-8859-7";
This solution is a little messy,
since the utf8_encode function does not accept an argument for choosing the encoding method to use but hardwires the encoding method in the source code. Maybe PHP developers will provide this option in future releases. Until then, this is a quick and dirty solution that will work for
localized PHP pages.

For XML generation, if you want non-ASCII ISO-8859-1 characters within text and attributes, you don't absolutely need UTF-8 encoding:
The optional XML declaration can change the default encoding for characters from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
This can save a lot of PHP code if you just want to generate ISO-8859-1 text and attribute values...
XML specification requires that all parsers support both the UTF-8 encoding (by default), and the ISO-8859-1 character set. Other character sets may be supported also by specifying them in the encoding attribute of the leading XML declaration (but the target parser must support this character set to allow automatic conversion of the source text into Unicode character entities.

To write an XML element $title containing "exotic" (eg. non ASCII & ...) 2 solutions I found :
Fastest :
$xml .= "<title><![CDATA[" . $title ."]]></title>\n"
or cleanest :
$xml .= "<title>".utf8_encode(htmlspecialchars($title))."</title>\n"
After that, your xml can be parsed without errors.

if you want to encode/decode arrays, use these recursive functions
function utf8_encode_array (&$array, $key) {
if(is_array($array)) {
array_walk ($array, 'utf8_encode_array');
} else {
$array = utf8_encode($array);
}
}
function utf8_decode_array (&$array, $key) {
if(is_array($array)) {
array_walk ($array, 'utf8_decode_array');
} else {
$array = utf8_decode($array);
}
}
and call them with array_walk for e.g.
array_walk ($array_unencoded, 'utf8_decode_array');
