note 57371 added to function.utf8-decode

to complete my previous test, here is the summarize with : - if ($string == utf8_decode($string)) - if ($string == iconv('UTF-8', 'UTF-8', $string) 201 lines are valid UTF8 strings using phpnote regexp 203 lines are valid UTF8 strings using j.dittmer regexp 200 lines are valid UTF8 strings using fhoech regexp 239 lines are valid UTF8 strings using using mb_detect_encoding 203 lines are valid UTF 8 strings using using utf8_decode 224 lines are valid UTF 8strings using using iconv If we trust the file used for this test, no need to use a regexp, use XML::utf8_decode() to test your strings, you get the same detection chance as the three regexp tested, and XML Parser extension is almost always available, unlike Iconv and Multibyte String functions. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-decode.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57371 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57371&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57371&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57371&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57371&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57371&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57371&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57371&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57371&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
