idn_to_utf8

(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7, PHP 8, PECL intl >= 1.0.2, PECL idn >= 0.1)

idn_to_utf8Convert domain name from IDNA ASCII to Unicode

Description

Procedural style

idn_to_utf8(
    string $domain,
    int $flags = IDNA_DEFAULT,
    int $variant = INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46,
    array &$idna_info = null
): string|false

This function converts a Unicode domain name from an IDNA ASCII-compatible format to plain Unicode, encoded in UTF-8.

Parameters

domain

Domain to convert in an IDNA ASCII-compatible format.

flags

Conversion options - combination of IDNA_* constants (except IDNA_ERROR_* constants).

variant

Either INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_2003 (deprecated as of PHP 7.2.0) for IDNA 2003 or INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46 (only available as of ICU 4.6) for UTS #46.

idna_info

This parameter can be used only if INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46 was used for variant. In that case, it will be filled with an array with the keys 'result', the possibly illegal result of the transformation, 'isTransitionalDifferent', a boolean indicating whether the usage of the transitional mechanisms of UTS #46 either has or would have changed the result and 'errors', which is an int representing a bitset of the error constants IDNA_ERROR_*.

Return Values

The domain name in Unicode, encoded in UTF-8, or false on failure

Changelog

Version Description
7.4.0 The default value of variant is now INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46 instead of the deprecated INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_2003.
7.2.0 INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_2003 has been deprecated; use INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46 instead.

Examples

Example #1 idn_to_utf8() example

<?php

echo idn_to_utf8('xn--tst-qla.de');

?>

The above example will output:
