Here is a shorter solution for the problem with german umlauts:
function utf8_convert($text) {
// convert to HTML entities
$text = mb_convert_encoding($text, 'HTML-ENTITIES', "UTF-8");
// convert HTML entities to ISO-8859-1
$text = html_entity_decode($text, ENT_NOQUOTES, "ISO-8859-1");
// replace characters > ascii 127 to hexidecimal equivalents
$out = '';
for($i = 0; $i < strlen($text); $i++) {
$letter = $text[$i];
$num = ord($letter);
if($num > 127) { // replace ascii > 127
$out .= '&#' . $num;
} else { // leave letter intact
$out .= $letter;
}
}
return $out;
}
