(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
utf8_decode — Convertit une chaîne UTF-8 en ISO-8859-1, en remplaçant les caractères invalides ou non représentables.
Cette fonction est OBSOLÈTE à partir de PHP 8.2.0. Dépendre de cette fonction est fortement déconseillé.
utf8_decode() décode la chaîne
string, en supposant qu'elle est au format
UTF-8, et la convertit au format
ISO-8859-1. Les octets dans la chaîne qui ne sont pas
valides en UTF-8 et les caractères UTF-8
qui n'existent pas en ISO-8859-1 (qui sont, les caractères
au-dessus de U+00FF) sont remplacés par ?.
Note:
De nombreuses pages Web marquées comme utilisant l'encodage de caratères
ISO-8859-1utilisent effectivement un encodage similaire àWindows-1252, et les navigateurs Web interpréterons les pages WebISO-8859-1commeWindows-1252. Les caractéristiques supplémentaires deWindows-1252sont des caractères imprimables, tels que le signe euro (€) et les guillemets bouclés (“”), à la place de certains caractères de contrôle de l'ISO-8859-1. Cette fonction ne convertira pas ces caractèresWindows-1252correctement. Utilisez une fonction différente si une conversionWindows-1252est nécessaire.

Note: Dépréciation et alternatives
Cette fonction est obsolète à partir de PHP 8.2.0 et sera supprimée dans une version future. Les utilisations existantes devraient être vérifiées et remplacées par des alternatives appropriées.
Une fonctionnalité similaire peut être obtenue avec mb_convert_encoding(), qui prend en charge ISO-8859-1 et de nombreux autres encodages de caractères.

$iso8859_7_string = mb_convert_encoding($utf8_string, 'ISO-8859-7', 'UTF-8');
echo bin2hex($iso8859_7_string), "\n";
$utf8_string = "\xE2\x82\xAC"; // '€' (Euro sign) in UTF-8 (not present in ISO-8859-1)

IMPORTANT: when converting UTF8 data that contains the EURO sign DON'T USE utf_decode function.
utf_decode converts the data into ISO-8859-1 charset. But ISO-8859-1 charset does not contain the EURO sign, therefor the EURO sign will be converted into a question mark character '?'
In order to convert properly UTF8 data with EURO sign you must use:
iconv("UTF-8", "CP1252", $data)If you running Gentoo Linux and encounter problems with some PHP4 applications saying:
Call to undefined function: utf8_decode()
Try reemerge PHP4 with 'expat' flag enabled.Please note that utf8_decode simply converts a string encoded in UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1. A more appropriate name for it would be utf8_to_iso88591. If your text is already encoded in ISO-8859-1, you do not need this function. If you don't want to use ISO-8859-1, you do not need this function.
Note that UTF-8 can represent many more characters than ISO-8859-1. Trying to convert a UTF-8 string that contains characters that can't be represented in ISO-8859-1 to ISO-8859-1 will garble your text and/or cause characters to go missing. Trying to convert text that is not encoded in UTF-8 using this function will most likely garble the text.
If you need to convert any text from any encoding to any other encoding, look at iconv() instead.If you want to retrieve some UTF-8 data from your database, you don't need utf8_decode().
Simply do the following query before any SELECT :
$result = mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8");Update to MARC13 function utf2iso()
I'm using it to handle AJAX POST calls.
Despite using
http.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'; charset='utf-8');
it still code Polish letters using UTF-16
This is only for Polish letters:
<?php
function utf16_2_utf8 ($nowytekst) {
$nowytekst = str_replace('%u0104','Ą',$nowytekst); //Ą
$nowytekst = str_replace('%u0106','Ć',$nowytekst); //Ć
$nowytekst = str_replace('%u0118','Ę',$nowytekst); //Ę
$nowytekst = str_replace('%u0141','Ł',$nowytekst); //Ł
$nowytekst = str_replace('%u0143','Ń',$nowytekst); //Ń
$nowytekst = str_replace('%u00D3','Ó',$nowytekst); //Ó
$nowytekst = str_replace('%u015A','Ś',$nowytekst); //Ś
$nowytekst = str_replace('%u0179','Ź',$nowytekst); //Ź
$nowytekst = str_replace('%u017B','Ż',$nowytekst); //Ż
$nowytekst = str_replace('%u0105','ą',$nowytekst); //ą
$nowytekst = str_replace('%u0107','ć',$nowytekst); //ć
$nowytekst = str_replace('%u0119','ę',$nowytekst); //ę
$nowytekst = str_replace('%u0142','ł',$nowytekst); //ł
$nowytekst = str_replace('%u0144','ń',$nowytekst); //ń
$nowytekst = str_replace('%u00F3','ó',$nowytekst); //ó
$nowytekst = str_replace('%u015B','ś',$nowytekst); //ś
$nowytekst = str_replace('%u017A','ź',$nowytekst); //ź
$nowytekst = str_replace('%u017C','ż',$nowytekst); //ż
return ($nowytekst);
}
?>
Everything goes smooth, but it doesn't change '%u00D3','Ó' and '%u00F3','ó'. I dont have idea what to do with that.
Remember! File must be saved in UTF-8 coding.In addition to note by yannikh at gmeil dot com, another way to decode strings with non-latin chars from unix console like
C=RU, L=\xD0\x9C\xD0\xBE\xD1\x81\xD0\xBA\xD0\xB2\xD0\xB0,
<?php preg_replace_callback('/\\\\x([0-9A-F]{2})/', function($a){ return pack('H*', $a[1]); }, $str); ?>
The code above will output:
C=RU, L=Москва,In addition to yannikh's note, to convert a hex utf8 string
<?php
echo utf8_decode("\x61\xc3\xb6\x61");
// works as expected
$abc="61c3b661";
$newstr = "";
$l = strlen($abc);
for ($i=0;$i<$l;$i+=2){
$newstr .= "\x".$abc[$i].$abc[$i+1];
}
echo utf8_decode($newstr);
// or varieties of "\x": "\\x" etc does NOT output what you want
echo utf8_decode(pack('H*',$abc));
// this outputs the correct string, like the first line.
?>The fastest way I've found to check if something is valid UTF-8 is
<?php
if (iconv('UTF-8', 'UTF-8', $input) != $input) {
/* It's not UTF-8--for me, it's probably CP1252, the Windows
version of Latin 1, with directed quotation marks and
the Euro sign. */
}
?>.
The iconv() C library fails if it's told a string is UTF-8 and it isn't; the PHP one doesn't, it just returns the conversion up to the point of failure, so you have to compare the result to the input to find out if the conversion succeeded.The regex in the last comment has some typos. This is a
syntactically valid one, don't know if it's correct though.
You've to concat the expression in one long line.

)*$The preferred way to use this on an array would be with the built in PHP function "array_map()", as for example:
$array = array_map("utf8_decode", $array);In response to fhoech (22-Sep-2005 11:55), I just tried a simultaneous test with the file UTF-8-test.txt using your regexp, 'j dot dittmer' (20-Sep-2005 06:30) regexp (message #56962), `php-note-2005` (17-Feb-2005 08:57) regexp in his message on `mb-detect-encoding` page (http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-detect-encoding.php#50087) who is using a regexp from the W3C (http://w3.org/International/questions/qa-forms-utf-8.html), and PHP mb_detect_encoding function.
Here are a summarize of the results :
201 lines are valid UTF8 strings using phpnote regexp
203 lines are valid UTF8 strings using j.dittmer regexp
200 lines are valid UTF8 strings using fhoech regexp
239 lines are valid UTF8 strings using using mb_detect_encoding
Here are the lines with differences (left to right, phpnote, j.dittmer and fhoech) :
Line #70 : NOT UTF8|IS UTF8!|IS UTF8! :2.1.1 1 byte (U-00000000): ""
Line #79 : NOT UTF8|IS UTF8!|IS UTF8! :2.2.1 1 byte (U-0000007F): ""
Line #81 : IS UTF8!|IS UTF8!|NOT UTF8 :2.2.3 3 bytes (U-0000FFFF): "" |
Line #267 : IS UTF8!|IS UTF8!|NOT UTF8 :5.3.1 U+FFFE = ef bf be = "" |
Line #268 : IS UTF8!|IS UTF8!|NOT UTF8 :5.3.2 U+FFFF = ef bf bf = "" |
Interesting is that you said that your regexp corrected j.dittmer regexp that failed on 5.3 section, but it my test I have the opposite result ?!
I ran this test on windows XP with PHP 4.3.11dev. Maybe these differences come from operating system, or PHP version.
For mb_detect_encoding I used the command :
mb_detect_encoding($line, 'UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, ASCII');$string = "Bjørn Johansen";
echo mb_convert_encoding($string, 'ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8');
----
prints: "Bjørn Johansen"// This finally helped me to do the job, thanks to Blackbit, had to modify deprecated ereg:
// original comment: "Squirrelmail contains a nice function in the sources to convert unicode to entities:"
function charset_decode_utf_8 ($string) {
/* Only do the slow convert if there are 8-bit characters */
/* avoid using 0xA0 (\240) in ereg ranges. RH73 does not like that */
if (!preg_match("/[\200-\237]/", $string)
&& !preg_match("/[\241-\377]/", $string)
) {
return $string;
}
// decode three byte unicode characters
$string = preg_replace("/([\340-\357])([\200-\277])([\200-\277])/e",
"'&#'.((ord('\\1')-224)*4096 + (ord('\\2')-128)*64 + (ord('\\3')-128)).';'",
$string
);
// decode two byte unicode characters
$string = preg_replace("/([\300-\337])([\200-\277])/e",

return $string;
}Use of utf8_decode was not enough for me by get page content from another site. Problem appear by different alphabet from standard latin. As example some chars (corresponding to HTML codes „ , and others) are converted to "?" or "xA0" (hex value). You need to make some conversion before execute utf8_decode. And you can not replace simple, that they can be part of 2 bytes code for a char (UTF-8 use 2 bytes). Next is for cyrillic alphabet, but for other must be very close.
function convertMethod($text){
//Problem is that utf8_decode convert HTML chars for „ and other to ? or to \xA0. And you can not replace, that they are in some char bytes and you broke cyrillic (or other alphabet) chars.
$problem_enc=array(
'euro',
'sbquo',
'bdquo',
'hellip',
'dagger',
'Dagger',
'permil',
'lsaquo',
'lsquo',
'rsquo',
'ldquo',
'rdquo',
'bull',
'ndash',
'mdash',
'trade',
'rsquo',
'brvbar',
'copy',
'laquo',
'reg',
'plusmn',
'micro',
'para',
'middot',
'raquo',
'nbsp'
);
$text=mb_convert_encoding($text,'HTML-ENTITIES','UTF-8');
$text=preg_replace('#(?<!\Ð)\&('.implode('|',$problem_enc).');#s','--amp{$1}',$text);
$text=mb_convert_encoding($text,'UTF-8','HTML-ENTITIES');
$text=utf8_decode($text);
$text=mb_convert_encoding($text,'HTML-ENTITIES','UTF-8');
$text=preg_replace('#\-\-amp\{([^\}]+)\}#su','&$1;',$text);
$text=mb_convert_encoding($text,'UTF-8','HTML-ENTITIES');
return $text;
}
If this don't work, try to set "die($text);" on some places to look, what is happen to this row. Is better to test with long text. It is very possible to broke other alphabet character. In this case, it is very possible, that for you alphabet set "Ð" is not the right one. You need to set "die($text);" after this preg_replace and look HTML code for character before set "--amp".EY! the bug is not in the function 'utf8_decode'. The bug is in the function 'mb_detect_encoding'. If you put a word with a special char at the end like this 'accentué', that will lead to a wrong result (UTF-8) but if you put another char at the end like this 'accentuée' you will get it right. So you should always add a ISO-8859-1 character to your string for this check. My advise is to use a blank space.
I´ve tried it and it works!
function ISO_convert($array)
{
$array_temp = array();
foreach($array as $name => $value)
{
if(is_array($value))
$array_temp[(mb_detect_encoding($name." ",'UTF-8,ISO-8859-1') == 'UTF-8' ? utf8_decode($name) : $name )] = ISO_convert($value);
else
$array_temp[(mb_detect_encoding($name." ",'UTF-8,ISO-8859-1') == 'UTF-8' ? utf8_decode($name) : $name )] = (mb_detect_encoding($value." ",'UTF-8,ISO-8859-1') == 'UTF-8' ? utf8_decode($value) : $value );
}
return $array_temp;
}A better way to convert would be to use iconv, see http://www.php.net/iconv -- example:
<?php
$myUnicodeString = "Åäö";
echo iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1", $myUnicodeString);
?>
Above would echo out the given variable in ISO-8859-1 encoding, you may replace it with whatever you prefer.
Another solution to the issue of misdisplayed glyphs is to simply send the document as UTF-8, and of course send UTF-8 data:
<?php
# Replace text/html with whatever MIME-type you prefer.
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8");
?>I did this function to convert data from AJAX call to insert to my database.
It converts UTF-8 from XMLHttpRequest() to ISO-8859-2 that I use in LATIN2 MySQL database.
<?php
function utf2iso($tekst)
{
$nowytekst = str_replace("%u0104","\xA1",$tekst); //Ą
$nowytekst = str_replace("%u0106","\xC6",$nowytekst); //Ć
$nowytekst = str_replace("%u0118","\xCA",$nowytekst); //Ę
$nowytekst = str_replace("%u0141","\xA3",$nowytekst); //Ł
$nowytekst = str_replace("%u0143","\xD1",$nowytekst); //Ń
$nowytekst = str_replace("%u00D3","\xD3",$nowytekst); //Ó
$nowytekst = str_replace("%u015A","\xA6",$nowytekst); //Ś
$nowytekst = str_replace("%u0179","\xAC",$nowytekst); //Ź
$nowytekst = str_replace("%u017B","\xAF",$nowytekst); //Ż
$nowytekst = str_replace("%u0105","\xB1",$nowytekst); //ą
$nowytekst = str_replace("%u0107","\xE6",$nowytekst); //ć
$nowytekst = str_replace("%u0119","\xEA",$nowytekst); //ę
$nowytekst = str_replace("%u0142","\xB3",$nowytekst); //ł
$nowytekst = str_replace("%u0144","\xF1",$nowytekst); //ń
$nowytekst = str_replace("%u00D4","\xF3",$nowytekst); //ó
$nowytekst = str_replace("%u015B","\xB6",$nowytekst); //ś
$nowytekst = str_replace("%u017A","\xBC",$nowytekst); //ź
$nowytekst = str_replace("%u017C","\xBF",$nowytekst); //ż
return ($nowytekst);
}
?>
In my case also the code file that deals with AJAX calls must be in UTF-8 coding.simple UTF-8 to HTML conversion:
function utf8_to_html ($data)
{
return preg_replace("/([\\xC0-\\xF7]{1,1}[\\x80-\\xBF]+)/e", '_utf8_to_html("\\1")', $data);
}
function _utf8_to_html ($data)
{
$ret = 0;
foreach((str_split(strrev(chr((ord($data{0}) % 252 % 248 % 240 % 224 % 192) + 128) . substr($data, 1)))) as $k => $v)
$ret += (ord($v) % 128) * pow(64, $k);
return "&#$ret;";
}
Example:
echo utf8_to_html("a b č ć ž こ に ち わ ()[]{}!#$?*");
Output:

?>I've just created this code snippet to improve the user-customizable emails sent by one of my websites.
The goal was to use UTF-8 (Unicode) so that non-english users have all the Unicode benefits, BUT also make life seamless for English (or specifically, English MS-Outlook users). The niggle: Outlook prior to 2003 (?) does not properly detect unicode emails. When "smart quotes" from MS Word were pasted into a rich text area and saved in Unicode, then sent by email to an Outlook user, more often than not, these characters were wrongly rendered as "greek".
So, the following code snippet replaces a few strategic characters into html entities which Outlook XP (and possibly earlier) will render as expected. [Code based on bits of code from previous posts on this and the htmlenties page]
<?php
$badwordchars=array(
"\xe2\x80\x98", // left single quote
"\xe2\x80\x99", // right single quote
"\xe2\x80\x9c", // left double quote
"\xe2\x80\x9d", // right double quote
"\xe2\x80\x94", // em dash
"\xe2\x80\xa6" // elipses
);
$fixedwordchars=array(
"‘",
"’",
'“',
'”',
'—',
'…'
);
$html=str_replace($badwordchars,$fixedwordchars,$html);

I like to use COOL (nice) URIs, example: http://example.com/try-something
I'm using UTF8 as input, so I have to write a function UTF8toASCII to have nice URI. Here is what I come with:
<?php
function urlize($url) {
$search = array('/[^a-z0-9]/', '/--+/', '/^-+/', '/-+$/' );
$replace = array( '-', '-', '', '');
return preg_replace($search, $replace, utf2ascii($url));
}
function utf2ascii($string) {
$iso88591 = "\\xE0\\xE1\\xE2\\xE3\\xE4\\xE5\\xE6\\xE7";
$iso88591 .= "\\xE8\\xE9\\xEA\\xEB\\xEC\\xED\\xEE\\xEF";
$iso88591 .= "\\xF0\\xF1\\xF2\\xF3\\xF4\\xF5\\xF6\\xF7";
$iso88591 .= "\\xF8\\xF9\\xFA\\xFB\\xFC\\xFD\\xFE\\xFF";
$ascii = "aaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnooooooouuuuyyy";
return strtr(mb_strtolower(utf8_decode($string), 'ISO-8859-1'),$iso88591,$ascii);
}
echo urlize("Fucking ?m?l");
?>
I hope this helps someone.If you don't know exactly, how many times your string is encoded, you can use this function:
<?php
function _utf8_decode($string)
{
$tmp = $string;
$count = 0;
while (mb_detect_encoding($tmp)=="UTF-8")
{
$tmp = utf8_decode($tmp);
$count++;
}
for ($i = 0; $i < $count-1 ; $i++)
{
$string = utf8_decode($string);
}
return $string;
}
