note 50985 added to function.utf8-decode

Here is my variant of UTF8 to Cyrillic Win-1251 encoding convertor that replaces all characters but latin and Russian ones with &#...; entities: function utf2win1251 ($s) { $out = ""; for ($i=0; $i<strlen($s); $i++) { $c1 = substr ($s, $i, 1); $byte1 = ord ($c1); if ($byte1>>5 == 6) // 110x xxxx, 110 prefix for 2 bytes unicode { $i++; $c2 = substr ($s, $i, 1); $byte2 = ord ($c2); $byte1 &= 31; // remove the 3 bit two bytes prefix $byte2 &= 63; // remove the 2 bit trailing byte prefix $byte2 |= (($byte1 & 3) << 6); // last 2 bits of c1 become first 2 of c2 $byte1 >>= 2; // c1 shifts 2 to the right $word = ($byte1<<8) + $byte2; if ($word==1025) $out .= chr(168); // ¨ elseif ($word==1105) $out .= chr(184); // ¸ elseif ($word>=0x0410 && $word<=0x044F) $out .= chr($word-848); // À-ß à-ÿ else { $a = dechex($byte1); $a = str_pad($a, 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT); $b = dechex($byte2); $b = str_pad($b, 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT); $out .= "&#x".$a.$b.";"; } } else { $out .= $c1; } } return $out; } The function is based on 2 other functions posted below. I hope it will help those who convert UTF8-encoded text to Win-1251 to use it safely on Russian web pages (works fine in all browsers). ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-decode.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50985 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50985&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50985&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50985&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50985&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50985&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50985&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
