In order to check if a string is encoded correctly in utf-8, I suggest the following function, that
implements the RFC3629 better than mb_check_encoding():
<?php
function check_utf8($str) {
$len = strlen($str);
for($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++){
$c = ord($str[$i]);
if ($c > 128) {
if (($c > 247)) return false;
elseif ($c > 239) $bytes = 4;
elseif ($c > 223) $bytes = 3;
elseif ($c > 191) $bytes = 2;
else return false;
if (($i + $bytes) > $len) return false;
while ($bytes > 1) {
$i++;
$b = ord($str[$i]);
if ($b < 128 || $b > 191) return false;
$bytes--;
}
}
}
return true;
} // end of check_utf8
?>
