note 101095 added to function.json-decode

If you have a json encoded array that contains non UTF8 chars, this function will do the trick: $array = json_decode(safeJSON_chars($iso_8859_1_data)); function safeJSON_chars($data) { $aux = str_split($data); foreach($aux as $a) { $a1 = urlencode($a); $aa = explode("%", $a1); foreach($aa as $v) { if($v!="") { if(hexdec($v)>127) { $data = str_replace($a,"&#".hexdec($v).";",$data); } } } } return $data; } Of course it works if you want to show this inside a HTML page, so entities will be converted. Hope this helps you as much as it helped me. ---- Server IP: 201.216.232.3 Probable Submitter: 190.55.170.233 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/101095 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101095/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101095/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101095/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101095/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101095/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101095/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101095 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/101095 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
