note 77581 added to function.mb-detect-encoding

I used Chris's function "detectUTF8" to detect the need from conversion from utf8 to 8859-1, which works fine. I did have a problem with the following iconv-conversion. The problem is that the iconv-conversion to 8859-1 (with //TRANSLIT) replaces the euro-sign with EUR, although it is common practice that \x80 is used as the euro-sign in the 8859-1 charset. I could not use 8859-15 since that mangled some other characters, so I added 2 str_replace's: if(detectUTF8($str)){ $str=str_replace("\xE2\x82\xAC","€",$str); $str=iconv("UTF-8","ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT",$str); $str=str_replace("€","\x80",$str); } If html-output is needed the last line is not necessary (and even unwanted). ---- Server IP: 83.137.20.107 Probable Submitter: 82.148.212.68 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-detect-encoding.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77581 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77581/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77581/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77581/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77581/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77581/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77581/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77581 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77581 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
