note 104906 added to function.utf8-encode

Please note that utf8_encode only converts a string encoded in ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. A more appropriate name for it would be "iso88591_to_utf8". If your text is not encoded in ISO-8859-1, you do not need this function. If your text is already in UTF-8, you do not need this function. In fact, applying this function to text that is not encoded in ISO-8859-1 will most likely simply garble that text. If you need to convert text from any encoding to any other encoding, look at iconv() instead. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 180.12.72.62 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-encode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/104906 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104906/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104906/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104906/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104906/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104906/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104906/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104906 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/104906 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
