    He is improved function to decode win1251->UTF8
    <?php
    function win2utf($s){
    $c209 = chr(209); $c208 = chr(208); $c129 = chr(129);
    for(    $i=0; $i<strlen($s); $i++) {
    $c=ord($s[$i]);
    if (    $c>=192 and $c<=239) $t.=$c208.chr($c-48);
    elseif (    $c>239) $t.=$c209.chr($c-112);
    elseif (    $c==184) $t.=$c209.$c209;

    A better function to convert cp1251 string to utf8.
    Works with russian and ukrainian text.

    function unicod($str) {
    $conv=array();
    for($x=128;$x<=143;$x++) $conv[$x+112]=chr(209).chr($x);
    for($x=144;$x<=191;$x++) $conv[$x+48]=chr(208).chr($x);
    $conv[184]=chr(209).chr(145); #ё
    $conv[168]=chr(208).chr(129); #Ё
    $conv[179]=chr(209).chr(150); #і
    $conv[178]=chr(208).chr(134); #І
    $conv[191]=chr(209).chr(151); #ї
    $conv[175]=chr(208).chr(135); #ї
    $conv[186]=chr(209).chr(148); #є
    $conv[170]=chr(208).chr(132); #Є
    $conv[180]=chr(210).chr(145); #ґ
    $conv[165]=chr(210).chr(144); #Ґ
    $conv[184]=chr(209).chr(145); #Ґ
    $ar=str_split($str);
    foreach($ar as $b) if(isset($conv[ord($b)])) $nstr.=$conv[ord($b)]; else $nstr.=$b;
    return $nstr;

    You function doesn't work on my PC..
    It's work:
    function Encode2($str,$type)
    {
    $conv=array();
    for($x=192;$x<=239;$x++)
    $conv[u][chr($x)]=chr(208).chr($x-48);
    for($x=240;$x<=255;$x++)
    $conv[u][chr($x)]=chr(209).chr($x-112);
    $conv[u][chr(168)]=chr(208).chr(129);
    $conv[u][chr(184)]=chr(209).chr(209);
    $conv[w]=array_reverse($conv[u]);
    if($type=='w' || $type=='u')
    return strtr($str,$conv[$type]);
    else
    return $str;
    }

    threed's function works great, but the replacement for the letter small io (&#1105;) needs to be changed from
    <?php
    if ($c==184) { $t.=chr(209).chr(209); continue; };
    ?>

    to
    <?php
    if ($c==184) { $t.=chr(209).chr(145); continue; };
    ?>

    so, the final working result should look like this:
    <?php
    function win3utf($s) {
    for(    $i=0, $m=strlen($s); $i<$m; $i++) {
    $c=ord($s[$i]);
    if (    $c<=127) {$t.=chr($c); continue; }
    if (    $c>=192 && $c<=207) {$t.=chr(208).chr($c-48); continue; }
    if (    $c>=208 && $c<=239) {$t.=chr(208).chr($c-48); continue; }
    if (    $c>=240 && $c<=255) {$t.=chr(209).chr($c-112); continue; }
    if (    $c==184) { $t.=chr(209).chr(209); continue; };
    if (    $c==168) { $t.=chr(208).chr(129); continue; };
    }
    return     $t;
    }

    Sorry for my previous post. NOT array_reverce, array_flip is actual function. Correct function:

    function Encode($str,$type=u)
    {
    $conv=array();
    for($x=192;$x<=239;$x++)
    $conv[u][chr($x)]=chr(208).chr($x-48);
    for($x=240;$x<=255;$x++)
    $conv[u][chr($x)]=chr(209).chr($x-112);
    $conv[u][chr(168)]=chr(208).chr(129);
    $conv[u][chr(184)]=chr(209).chr(209);
    $conv[w]=array_flip($conv[u]);
    if($type=='w' || $type=='u')
    return strtr($str,$conv[$type]);
    else
    return $str;
    }

    Sorry for my English ;)

    Check this code -- exelent to convert win-1251 to UTF-8
    just one fix!!!
    if ($c==184) { $t.=chr(209).chr(145); continue; };

    Anything more it is not necessary.

    Unfortunately input data must be a string only. But it is may be changed! ;)

    To convert multi-dimensional array I use this recursive function:

    <?php
    function convert_cyr_array($array,$from,$to){
    foreach(    $array as $key=>$value){
    if(    is_array($value)) {
    $result[$key] = convert_cyr_array($value,$from,$to);
    continue;
    }
    $result[$key] = convert_cyr_string($value,$from,$to);
    }
    return     $result;
    }
    ?>

    An example:

    <?php
    $array    [0] = "сВМПЛП";
    $array[1] = "зТХЫБ";
    $array[2] = array("пЗХТЕГ","рПНЙДПТ");
    $array[3] = array(
    array(    "бРЕМШУЙО","нБОДБТЙО"),
    array(    "бВТЙЛПУ","рЕТУЙЛ")
    );

    $result = convert_cyr_array($array,"k","w");
    /* Returns:

    Array
    (
    [0] => Яблоко
    [1] => Груша
    [2] => Array
    (
    [0] => Огурец
    [1] => Помидор
    )
    [3] => Array
    (
    [0] => Array
    (
    [0] => Апельсин
    [1] => Мандарин
    )
    [1] => Array
    (
    [0] => Абрикос
    [1] => Персик
    )
    )
    )*/
