That's not possible. The two charsets differ at 8 code points so there's no way to combine them. And even if they could be, it would be crazy to have a string be in two encodings simultaneously.

Maybe beter change this function is silently extend to iso-8859-15 charset, so that iso-8859-15 charset work in iso-8859-1 charsets. If i understooded, this was method in many software when iso-8859-15 charset released. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-08-18 13:18:48] cmb@php.net It's rather unlikely that utf8_decode() will be enhanced, because there are already mb_convert_encoding() and iconv(). Can this request be closed? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-02-11 10:50:21] markokarjalainen at kolumbus dot fi Description: ------------ Is it possible extend utf8_decode function with charset iso-8859-15(latin 9) version? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-15 Currently utf8_decode uses iso-8859-1 Main reason of need is we need €(EUR) char in conversions It can be done second optional parameter. string utf8_decode ( string $data [] [, string $out_charset]) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53994&edit=1
