note 111176 added to function.strtr

Weird, but strtr corrupting chars, if used like below and if file is encoded in UTF-8; <?php $str = 'Äbc Äbc'; echo strtr($str, 'Ä', 'a'); // output: a�bc a�bc ?> And a simple solution; <?php function strtr_unicode($str, $a = null, $b = null) { $translate = $a; if (!is_array($a) && !is_array($b)) { $a = (array) $a; $b = (array) $b; $translate = array_combine( array_values($a), array_values($b) ); } // again weird, but accepts an array in this case return strtr($str, $translate); } $str = 'Äbc Äbc'; echo strtr($str, 'Ä', 'a') ."\n"; echo strtr_unicode($str, 'Ä', 'a') ."\n"; echo strtr_unicode($str, array('Ä' => 'a')) ."\n"; // outputs // a�bc a�bc // abc abc // abc abc ?> ---- Server IP: 95.130.168.26 Probable Submitter: 88.253.76.215 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtr.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/111176 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111176/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111176/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111176/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111176/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111176/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111176/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111176 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/111176 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
