Please note that utf8_encode only converts a string encoded in ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. A more appropriate name for it would be "iso88591_to_utf8". If your text is not encoded in ISO-8859-1, you do not need this function. If your text is already in UTF-8, you do not need this function. In fact, applying this function to text that is not encoded in ISO-8859-1 will most likely simply garble that text.
If you need to convert text from any encoding to any other encoding, look at iconv() instead.
utf8_encode
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
utf8_encode — Encodes an ISO-8859-1 string to UTF-8
설명
string utf8_encode
( string
$data
)
This function converts the string data from the
ISO-8859-1 encoding to UTF-8.
Note:
Many web pages marked as using the ISO-8859-1 character encoding actually use the similar Windows-1252 encoding, and web browsers will interpret ISO-8859-1 web pages as Windows-1252. Windows-1252 features additional printable characters, such as the Euro sign (€) and curly quotes (“ ”), instead of certain ISO-8859-1 control characters. This function will not convert such Windows-1252 characters correctly. Use a different function if Windows-1252 conversion is required.

My version of utf8_encode_deep,
In case you need one that returns a value without changing the original.
/**
* Convert Anything To UTF-8
* @param mixed $var The variable you want to convert.
* @param boolean $deep Deep convertion? (*Default: TRUE).
* @return mixed
*/
function anything_to_utf8($var,$deep=TRUE){
if(is_array($var)){
foreach($var as $key => $value){
if($deep){
$var[$key] = anything_to_utf8($value,$deep);
}elseif(!is_array($value) && !is_object($value) && !mb_detect_encoding($value,'utf-8',true)){
$var[$key] = utf8_encode($var);
}
}
return $var;
}elseif(is_object($var)){
foreach($var as $key => $value){
if($deep){
$var->$key = anything_to_utf8($value,$deep);
}elseif(!is_array($value) && !is_object($value) && !mb_detect_encoding($value,'utf-8',true)){

}
return $var;
}else{
return (!mb_detect_encoding($var,'utf-8',true))?utf8_encode($var):$var;

For reference, it may be insightful to point out that:
utf8_encode($s)
is actually identical to:
recode_string('latin1..utf8', $s)
and:
iconv('iso-8859-1', 'utf-8', $s)
That is, utf8_encode is a specialized case of character set conversions.
If your string to be converted to utf-8 is something other than iso-8859-1 (such as iso-8859-2 (Polish/Croatian)), you should use recode_string() or iconv() instead rather than trying to devise complex str_replace statements.

If you haven't guessed already: If the UTF-8 character has no representation in the ISO-8859-1 codepage, a ? will be returned. You might want to wrap a function around this to make sure you aren't saving a bunch of ???? into your database.

If you need a function which converts a string array into a utf8 encoded string array then this function might be useful for you:
<?php
function utf8_string_array_encode(&$array){
$func = function(&$value,&$key){
if(is_string($value)){
$value = utf8_encode($value);
}
if(is_string($key)){
$key = utf8_encode($key);
}
if(is_array($value)){
utf8_string_array_encode($value);
}
};
array_walk($array,$func);
return $array;
}
?>

Walk through nested arrays/objects and utf8 encode all strings.
<?php
// Usage
class Foo {
public $somevar = 'whoop whoop';
}
$structure = array(
'object' => (object) array(
'entry' => 'hello wörld',
'another_array' => array(
'string',
1234,
'another string'
)
),
'string' => 'foo',
'foo_object' => new Foo
);
utf8_encode_deep($structure);
// $structure is now utf8 encoded
print_r($structure);
// The function
function utf8_encode_deep(&$input) {
if (is_string($input)) {
$input = utf8_encode($input);
} else if (is_array($input)) {
foreach ($input as &$value) {
utf8_encode_deep($value);
}
unset($value);
} else if (is_object($input)) {
$vars = array_keys(get_object_vars($input));
foreach ($vars as $var) {
utf8_encode_deep($input->$var);
}
}
}

If you are looking for a function to replace special characters with the hex-utf-8 value (e.g. für Webservice-Security/WSS4J compliancy) you might use this:
$textstart = "Größe";
$utf8 ='';
$max = strlen($txt);
for ($i = 0; $i < $max; $i++) {
if ($txt{i} == "&"){
$neu = "&x26;";
}
elseif ((ord($txt{$i}) < 32) or (ord($txt{$i}) > 127)){
$neu = urlencode(utf8_encode($txt{$i}));
$neu = preg_replace('#\%(..)\%(..)\%(..)#','&#x\1;&#x\2;&#x\3;',$neu);
$neu = preg_replace('#\%(..)\%(..)#','&#x\1;&#x\2;',$neu);
$neu = preg_replace('#\%(..)#','&#x\1;',$neu);
}
else {
$neu = $txt{$i};
}
$utf8 .= $neu;
} // for $i
$textnew = $utf8;
In this example $textnew will be "Größe"

I was searching for a function similar to Javascript's unescape(). In most cases it is OK to use url_decode() function but not if you've got UTF characters in the strings. They are converted into %uXXXX entities that url_decode() cannot handle.
I googled the net and found a function which actualy converts these entities into HTML entities (&#xxx;) that your browser can show correctly. If you're OK with that, the function can be found here: http://pure-essence.net/stuff/code/utf8RawUrlDecode.phps
But it was not OK with me because I needed a string in my charset to make some comparations and other stuff. So I have modified the above function and in conjuction with code2utf() function mentioned in some other note here, I have managed to achieve my goal:
<?php
/**
* Function converts an Javascript escaped string back into a string with specified charset (default is UTF-8).
* Modified function from http://pure-essence.net/stuff/code/utf8RawUrlDecode.phps
*
* @param string $source escaped with Javascript's escape() function
* @param string $iconv_to destination character set will be used as second paramether in the iconv function. Default is UTF-8.
* @return string
*/
function unescape($source, $iconv_to = 'UTF-8') {
$decodedStr = '';
$pos = 0;
$len = strlen ($source);
while ($pos < $len) {
$charAt = substr ($source, $pos, 1);
if ($charAt == '%') {
$pos++;
$charAt = substr ($source, $pos, 1);
if ($charAt == 'u') {
// we got a unicode character
$pos++;
$unicodeHexVal = substr ($source, $pos, 4);
$unicode = hexdec ($unicodeHexVal);
$decodedStr .= code2utf($unicode);
$pos += 4;
}
else {
// we have an escaped ascii character
$hexVal = substr ($source, $pos, 2);
$decodedStr .= chr (hexdec ($hexVal));
$pos += 2;
}
}
else {
$decodedStr .= $charAt;
$pos++;
}
}
if ($iconv_to != "UTF-8") {
$decodedStr = iconv("UTF-8", $iconv_to, $decodedStr);
}
return $decodedStr;
}
/**

*/
function code2utf($num){
if($num<128)return chr($num);
if($num<2048)return chr(($num>>6)+192).chr(($num&63)+128);
if($num<65536)return chr(($num>>12)+224).chr((($num>>6)&63)+128).chr(($num&63)+128);

This function may be useful do encode array keys and values [and checks first to see if it's already in UTF format]:
<?php
public static function to_utf8($in)
{
if (is_array($in)) {
foreach ($in as $key => $value) {
$out[to_utf8($key)] = to_utf8($value);
}
} elseif(is_string($in)) {
if(mb_detect_encoding($in) != "UTF-8")
return utf8_encode($in);
else
return $in;
} else {
return $in;
}
return $out;
}
?>
Hope this may help.

I tried a lot of things, but this seems to be the final fail save method to convert any string to proper UTF-8.
<?php
function _convert($content) {
if(!mb_check_encoding($content, 'UTF-8')
OR !($content === mb_convert_encoding(mb_convert_encoding($content, 'UTF-32', 'UTF-8' ), 'UTF-8', 'UTF-32'))) {
$content = mb_convert_encoding($content, 'UTF-8');
if (mb_check_encoding($content, 'UTF-8')) {
// log('Converted to UTF-8');
} else {
// log('Could not converted to UTF-8');
}
}
return $content;
}

I recommend using this alternative for every language:
$new=mb_convert_encoding($s,"UTF-8","auto");
Don't forget to set all your pages to "utf-8" encoding, otherwise just use HTML entities.

Avoiding use of preg_match to detect if utf8_encode is needed:
<?php
$string = $string_input; // avoid being destructive
$string = preg_replace("#[\x09\x0A\x0D\x20-\x7E]#" ,"",$string); // ASCII
$string = preg_replace("#[\xC2-\xDF][\x80-\xBF]#" ,"",$string); // non-overlong 2-byte
$string = preg_replace("#\xE0[\xA0-\xBF][\x80-\xBF]#" ,"",$string); // excluding overlongs
$string = preg_replace("#[\xE1-\xEC\xEE\xEF][\x80-\xBF]{2}#","",$string); // straight 3-byte
$string = preg_replace("#\xED[\x80-\x9F][\x80-\xBF]#" ,"",$string); // excluding surrogates
$string = preg_replace("#\xF0[\x90-\xBF][\x80-\xBF]{2}#","",$string); // planes 1-3

Re the previous post about converting GB2312 code to Unicode code which displayed the following function:
<?
// Program by sadly (www.phpx.com)
function gb2unicode($gb)
{
if(!trim($gb))
return $gb;
$filename="gb2312.txt";
$tmp=file($filename);
$codetable=array();
while(list($key,$value)=each($tmp))
$codetable[hexdec(substr($value,0,6))]=substr($value,9,4);
$utf="";
while($gb)
{
if (ord(substr($gb,0,1))>127)
{
$this=substr($gb,0,2);
$gb=substr($gb,2,strlen($gb));
$utf.="&#x".$codetable[hexdec(bin2hex($this))-0x8080].";";
}
else
{
$gb=substr($gb,1,strlen($gb));
$utf.=substr($gb,0,1);
}
}
return $utf;
}
?>
I found that a small change was needed in the code to properly handle latin characters embedded in the middle of gb2312 text, as when the text includes a URL or email address. Just reverse the two lines in the part of the statement above that handles ord vals !>127.
Change:
$gb=substr($gb,1,strlen($gb));
$utf.=substr($gb,0,1);
to:
$utf.=substr($gb,0,1);
$gb=substr($gb,1,strlen($gb));
In the original function, the first latin chacter was dropped and it was not converting the first non-latin character after the latin text (everything was shifted one character too far to the right). Reversing those two lines makes it work correctly in every example I have tried.
Also, the source of the gb2312.txt file needed for this to work has changed. You can find it a couple places:
http://tcl.apache.org/sources/tcl/tools/encoding/gb2312.txt
ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/OBSOLETE/EASTASIA/GB/GB2312.TXT

I suppose that from PHP 8.2 we need to use <?php iconv('ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8', $string) ?> instead.

The following Perl regular expression tests if a string is well-formed Unicode UTF-8 (Broken up after each | since long lines are not permitted here. Please join as a single line, no spaces, before use.):
^([\x00-\x7f]|
[\xc2-\xdf][\x80-\xbf]|
\xe0[\xa0-\xbf][\x80-\xbf]|
[\xe1-\xec][\x80-\xbf]{2}|
\xed[\x80-\x9f][\x80-\xbf]|
[\xee-\xef][\x80-\xbf]{2}|
f0[\x90-\xbf][\x80-\xbf]{2}|
[\xf1-\xf3][\x80-\xbf]{3}|
\xf4[\x80-\x8f][\x80-\xbf]{2})*$
NOTE: This strictly follows the Unicode standard 4.0, as described in chapter 3.9, table 3-6, "Well-formed UTF-8 byte sequences" ( http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.0.0/ch03.pdf#G31703 ).
ISO-10646, a super-set of Unicode, uses UTF-8 (there called "UCS", see http://www.unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#1 ) in a relaxed variant that supports a 31-bit space encoded into up to six bytes instead of Unicode's 21 bits in up to four bytes. To check for ISO-10646 UTF-8, use the following Perl regular expression (again, broken up, see above):
^([\x00-\x7f]|
[\xc0-\xdf][\x80-\xbf]|
[\xe0-\xef][\x80-\xbf]{2}|
[\xf0-\xf7][\x80-\xbf]{3}|
[\xf8-\xfb][\x80-\xbf]{4}|
[\xfc-\xfd][\x80-\xbf]{5})*$
The following function may be used with above expressions for a quick UTF-8 test, e.g. to distinguish ISO-8859-1-data from UTF-8-data if submitted from a <form accept-charset="utf-8,iso-8859-1" method=..>.
function is_utf8($string) {
return (preg_match('/[insert regular expression here]/', $string) === 1);
}

I often need to convert multi language text sent to me for use in websites and other apps into UTF8 encoded so I can insert it into source code and databases.
I knocked up a small web page with its charset set to UTF8 then set it up so I can paste from the original doc (eg word or excel) and have the page return the UTF8 encoded version.
Of course the browser will convert the unicode to UTF8 for you as part of the submit (I use IE5 or better for this) then all you have to do in the PHP is encode the UTF8 so the browser will show it in its raw form.
Its a bit bulky but I just convert ALL character to html numbered entities (brute force and ignorance does it again.)
I've used this to encode everything from Hebrew to Japanese without problems
<?
header("Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8");
$code = (get_magic_quotes_gpc())?stripslashes($GLOBALS[code]):$GLOBALS[code];
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>UTF8 ENCODER PAGE</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<form method=post action="?seed=<?=time()?>">
Original Unicode<br />
<textarea name="code" cols="80" rows="10"><?=$code?></textarea><br />
Encoded UTF8<br />
<textarea name="encd" cols="80" rows="10"><?
for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($code); $i++) {
echo '&#'.ord(substr($code,$i,1));
}
?></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="encode">
</form>
</body>
</html>
