Digg  mb_internal_encoding
Set/Get internal character encoding
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5)
Example 1402. mb_internal_encoding() example<?phpCode Examples / Notes » mb_internal_encodingmortoray
To previous example, the PHP notes don't appear to support umlauted characters so there are question marks (?) there instead of what should be umlauated oue. Just substitute any high-order/accented character to see the effect.

In response to mortoray at ecircle-ag dot com: The characters display fine as long as you set the Encoding to something more "Latin 1" compatible (i.e. US-ACSII, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-1, or Windows 1252). PHP.net auto-detects to UTF-8 joachim kruyswijk
Especially when writing PHP scripts for use on different servers, it is a very good idea to explicitly set the internal encoding somewhere on top of every document served, e.g. mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8"); This, in combination with mysql-statement "SET NAMES 'utf8'", will save a lot of debugging trouble. Also, use the multi-byte string functions instead of the ones you may be used to, e.g. mb_strlen() instead of strlen(), etc. mortoray
Be aware that the strings in your source files must match the encoding you specify by mb_internal_encoding. It appears the Parser loads raw bytes from the file and refers to its internal encoding to determine their actual encoding. To demonstrate, the following outputs as espected when the /source/ file is Latin-1 encoded: <?php mb_internal_encoding("iso-8859-1"); mb_http_output( "UTF-8" ); ob_start("mb_output_handler"); echo "üöä<br/>"; ?>üöä Now, a typical use of mb_internal_encoding is shown as follows. Make the change to "utf-8" but leave the /source/ file encoding unchanged: <?php mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8"); mb_http_output( "UTF-8" ); ob_start("mb_output_handler"); echo "üöä<br/>"; ?>üöä The output will just show the <br/> tag and no text. Save the file as UTF-8 encoding and then the results will be as expected. |
