#23070 [NEW]: Change encoding to another encoding/charset

From: asim at grc dot to Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Change encoding to another encoding/charset PROBLEM: Changing the data from one Encoding style to another on the fly. EXPLAINATION: Most of the websites use Windows-1256 or some other encoding style of displaying Arabic text while we are using the Most Standardized UTF-8 encoding style/ charset at our website and our related sites. Now the text/data in Arabic which we get from other websites cannot be displayed on our website as the data encoding is different. I am working to make solution in PHP where I decode windows-1256 or any other format in which I receive the data to single Unicode or UTF-8 format, before storing in database and then displaying on web. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23070&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23070&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23070&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23070&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23070&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23070&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23070&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23070&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23070&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23070&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23070&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23070&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23070&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23070&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23070&r=gnused
