note 59484 added to function.utf8-decode

I had to tackle a very interesting problem: I wanted to replace all \xXX in a text by it's letters. Unfortunatelly XX were ASCII and not utf8. I solved my problem that way: <?php preg_replace ('/\\\\x([0-9a-fA-F]{2})/e', "pack('H*',utf8_decode('\\1'))",$v); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-decode.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+59484 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59484&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59484&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59484&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59484&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59484&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59484&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59484&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+59484&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
