note 39517 added to function.utf8-decode

The fastest way I've found to check if something is valid UTF-8 is <?php if (iconv('UTF-8', 'UTF-8', $input) != $input) { /* It's not UTF-8--for me, it's probably CP1252, the Windows version of Latin 1, with directed quotation marks and the Euro sign. */ } ?>. The iconv() C library fails if it's told a string is UTF-8 and it isn't; the PHP one doesn't, it just returns the conversion up to the point of failure, so you have to compare the result to the input to find out if the conversion succeeded. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-decode.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+39517 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+39517&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+39517&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
