note 49508 added to function.mb-decode-numericentity

By use of function utf8_decode you'll get a problem with all extended chars above ISO-8859-1 charset. You can solve this problem by using the function mb_encode_numericentity before: // convert $text from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 $convmap = array(0xFF, 0x2FFFF, 0, 0xFFFF); $text = mb_encode_numericentity($text, $convmap, "UTF-8"); $text = utf8_decode($text); The second line encodes all extended chars below 0xFF, the third line converts the rest: 0x80 - 0xFF ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-decode-numericentity.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+49508 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49508&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49508&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49508&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49508&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49508&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+49508&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
