utf8_encode
utf8_encode
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
utf8_encode — Encodes an ISO-8859-1 string to UTF-8
Description
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.
Parameters
-
data
-
An ISO-8859-1 string.
