iconv
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.5, PHP 5)
iconv -- Convert string to requested character encoding
Description
string
iconv ( string in_charset, string out_charset, string str )
Performs a character set conversion on the string
str from in_charset
to out_charset.
Parameters
in_charset
The input charset.
out_charset
The output charset.
If you append the string //TRANSLIT to
out_charset transliteration is activated. This
means that when a character can't be represented in the target charset,
it can be approximated through one or several similarly looking
characters. If you append the string //IGNORE,
characters that cannot be represented in the target charset are silently
discarded. Otherwise, str is cut from the first
illegal character.
str
The string to be converted.
Return Values
Returns the converted string or FALSE on failure.
Examples
Example 1. iconv() example
<?php
echo iconv("ISO-8859-1", "UTF-8", "This is a test.");
?>
