These two functions have worked very well for me:
<?php
function utf8_safe_decode($input)
{
if ( ! is_string ( $input ) ) return $input;
$conv = utf8_decode($input);
return ( substr_count($conv, '?') > substr_count($input, '?') ) ? $input
: $conv ;
}
function utf8_safe_encode($input)
{
if ( ! is_string ($input ) ) return $input;
$conv = utf8_decode($input);
// if input can be decoded without error, it is already utf-8
return ( substr_count($conv, '?') == substr_count($input, '?') ) ? $input :
utf8_encode($input) ;
}
?>
