note 59710 added to function.utf8-encode

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 'ƒ' ( ALT+159) in the final string. <?php function isUTF8($string) { $string_utf8 = utf8_encode($string); if( strpos($string_utf8,"ƒ",0) !== false ) // "ƒ" is ALT+159 return true; // the original string was utf8 else return false; // otherwise } ?> regards Miguel Díaz ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-encode.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+59710 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59710&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59710&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59710&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59710&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59710&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59710&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59710&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+59710&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
