note 73749 added to function.iconv

Many mail servers don't handle utf-8 correctly as they assume iso-8859-x encodings, so you would want to convert the headers, subject and body of an email prior to sending it out. If iconv() and mb_convert_encoding() are missing the following function can be used to convert UTF8 to iso-8859-7 encoding. It discards all characters that are not 2-byte greek characters or single-byte (ascii). <?php function conv_utf8_iso8859_7($s) { $len = strlen($s); $out = ""; $curr_char = ""; for($i=0; $i < $len; $i++) { $curr_char .= $s[$i]; if( ( ord($s[$i]) & (128+64) ) == 128) { //character end found if ( strlen($curr_char) == 2) { // 2-byte character check for it is greek one and convert if (ord($curr_char[0])==205) $out .= chr( ord($curr_char[1])+16 ); else if (ord($curr_char[0])==206) $out .= chr( ord($curr_char[1])+48 ); else if (ord($curr_char[0])==207) $out .= chr( ord($curr_char[1])+112 ); else ; // non greek 2-byte character, discard character } else ;// n-byte character, n>2, discard character $curr_char = ""; } else if (ord($s[$i]) < 128) { // character is one byte (ascii) $out .= $curr_char; $curr_char = ""; } } return $out; } ?> ---- Server IP: 62.103.148.26 Probable Submitter: 62.1.107.191 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73749 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73749/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73749/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73749/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73749/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73749/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73749/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73749 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73749 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
