note 106863 deleted from function.json-encode by danbrown

Note Submitter: trevalayan at hotmail dot com ---- me.pierB offered a solution for dealing with UTF8 characters in json_encode. Unfortunately there is a minor bug so here is the complete code with the bugfix: "Combining last 2 comments, json_decode and json_encode can gain great advantages from following:" <?php function array_ut8_encode_recursive(&$itm) { $new = $itm; if (is_string($new)) return utf8_encode($new); if (is_array($new)) return array_map('array_ut8_encode_recursive', $new); if (is_object($new)) foreach (get_object_vars($new) as $key => $value ) $new->$key = array_ut8_encode_recursive($new->$key); return $new; } // array_ut8_encode_recursive() function array_ut8_decode_recursive(&$itm) { $new = $itm; if (is_string($new)) return utf8_decode($new); if (is_array($new)) return array_map('array_ut8_decode_recursive', $new); if (is_object($new)) foreach (get_object_vars($new) as $key => $value ) $new->$key = array_ut8_decode_recursive($new->$key); return $new; } // array_ut8_decode_recursive() ?> "json_encode(array_ut8_encode_recursive($data))"
