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
)
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.");
?>
