note 103427 added to function.utf8-encode

Lots of problems with conversions. Is UTF-8 even necessary? Wouldn't it be better for everyone to learn English and type only ASCII ?? <chuckle> Look at iconv() function, which offers a way to convert from 8859 and dreaded 1252 into UTF8 (or else simply discard any untranslatable chars without error). A script to fixup text of unknown type works well with iconv() ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 70.91.82.193 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-encode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/103427 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103427/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103427/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103427/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103427/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103427/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103427/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103427 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/103427 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
