note 47141 added to function.utf8-decode

Note that although the doku above says that utf8_decode() decodes data, assumed to be UTF-8 encoded to ISO-8859-1, the output of iconv() and utf8_decode() in the example below is not equal. This is especially a problem if you want to decode utf8-encoded data like those google-urls containing EURO signs like the following one: http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q=20+%E2%82%AC&meta= (use urldecode() on it first) IMO it's better to use the iconv() function, which is returning the the right data for me... hope that helps... <?PHP print '<pre>'; print_r(iconv_get_encoding()); // 'ISO-8859-1' for input, internal an output here print '</pre>'; if( iconv("UTF-8","ISO-8859-1", "\xE2\x82\xAC") != utf8_decode("\xE2\x82\xAC") ) { print 'not equal!'; } else print 'equal!'; ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-decode.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47141 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47141&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47141&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47141&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47141&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47141&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47141&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47141&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
