mb_internal_encodingLit/modifie l'encodage interne

Description

mb_internal_encoding(?string $encoding = null): string|bool

Lit/modifie l'encodage interne.

Liste de paramètres

encoding

encoding sert lors des conversions des chaînes en provenance et en direction du web, ainsi que lors de la création de chaînes avec le module mbstring. Vous devez garder à l'esprit que l'encodage interne est totalement différent de celui pour les regex multioctets.

Valeurs de retour

Si encoding est fourni, Cette fonction retourne true en cas de succès ou false si une erreur survient. Dans ce cas, l'encodage des caractères pour les regex multioctets n'est pas changé. Si encoding est omis, mb_internal_encoding() retourne le nom de l'encodage courant.

Erreurs / Exceptions

À partir de PHP 8.0.0, une ValueError est lancée si la valeur de encoding est un encodage invalide. Antérieur à PHP 8.0.0, une E_WARNING était émise à la place.

Historique

Version Description
8.0.0 encoding est désormais nullable.
8.0.0 Lance désormais une ValueError si encoding est un encodage invalide. Auparavant, une E_WARNING était émise à la place.

Especially when writing PHP scripts for use on different servers, it is a very good idea to explicitly set the internal encoding somewhere on top of every document served, e.g.

mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");

This, in combination with mysql-statement "SET NAMES 'utf8'", will save a lot of debugging trouble.

Also, use the multi-byte string functions instead of the ones you may be used to, e.g. mb_strlen() instead of strlen(), etc.

all together

<?php
// ------------------------------------------------------------

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');

mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8');
mb_http_output('UTF-8');
mb_http_input('UTF-8');
mb_regex_encoding('UTF-8');

// ------------------------------------------------------------
?>

Be aware that the strings in your source files must match the encoding you specify by mb_internal_encoding.  It appears the Parser loads raw bytes from the file and refers to its internal encoding to determine their actual encoding.

To demonstrate, the following outputs as espected when the /source/ file is Latin-1 encoded:

<?php
    mb_internal_encoding
("iso-8859-1");
   
mb_http_output( "UTF-8" );
   
ob_start("mb_output_handler");

    echo
"???<br/>";

   
?>???

Now, a typical use of mb_internal_encoding is shown as follows.  Make the change to "utf-8" but leave the /source/ file encoding unchanged:

<?php
    mb_internal_encoding
("UTF-8");
   
mb_http_output( "UTF-8" );
   
ob_start("mb_output_handler");

    echo
"???<br/>";

   
?>???

The output will just show the <br/> tag and no text.

Save the file as UTF-8 encoding and then the results will be as expected.

Note that mb_internal_encoding is not necessary in PHP 5.6

In response to mortoray at ecircle-ag dot com:

The characters display fine as long as you set the Encoding to something more "Latin 1" compatible (i.e. US-ACSII, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-1, or  Windows 1252). PHP.net auto-detects to UTF-8

i noticed that setting mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8') in my global site config.inc.php, doesn't work in my classes : it reverse back to ISO-8859-1.
Adding the call to the constructor of my top site class resolve this.

To previous example, the PHP notes don't appear to support umlauted characters so there are question marks  (?) there instead of what should be umlauated oue.  Just substitute any high-order/accented character to see the effect.
