MB_DETECT_ORDER(3) 1 MB_DETECT_ORDER(3) mb_detect_order - Set/Get character encoding detection order SYNOPSIS
mixed mb_detect_order ([mixed $encoding_list = mb_detect_order()]) DESCRIPTION
Sets the automatic character encoding detection order to $encoding_list. PARAMETERS
o $encoding_list -$encoding_list is an array or comma separated list of character encoding. See supported encodings. If $encoding_list is omitted, it returns the current character encoding detection order as array. This setting affects mb_detect_encoding(3) and mb_send_mail(3). mbstring currently implements the following encoding detection filters. If there is an invalid byte sequence for the following encodings, encoding detection will fail. UTF-8, UTF-7, ASCII, EUC-JP, SJIS, eucJP-win, SJIS-win, JIS, ISO-2022-JP For ISO-8859-*, mbstring always detects as ISO-8859-*. For UTF-16, UTF-32, UCS2 and UCS4, encoding detection will fail always. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 mb_detect_order(3) examples <?php /* Set detection order by enumerated list */ mb_detect_order("eucjp-win,sjis-win,UTF-8"); /* Set detection order by array */ $ary[] = "ASCII"; $ary[] = "JIS"; $ary[] = "EUC-JP"; mb_detect_order($ary); /* Display current detection order */ echo implode(", ", mb_detect_order()); ?> Example #2 Example showing useless detect orders ; Always detect as ISO-8859-1 detect_order = ISO-8859-1, UTF-8 ; Always detect as UTF-8, since ASCII/UTF-7 values are ; valid for UTF-8 detect_order = UTF-8, ASCII, UTF-7 SEE ALSO

auto_ef(1) User Commands auto_ef(1) NAME
auto_ef - auto encoding finder SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/auto_ef [-e encoding_list] [-a] [-l level] [file ...] /usr/bin/auto_ef -h DESCRIPTION
The auto_ef utility identifies the encoding of a given file. The utility judges the encoding by using the iconv code conversion, determin- ing whether a certain code conversion was successful with the file, and also by performing frequency analyses on the character sequences that appear in the file. The auto_ef utility might produce unexpected output if the string is binary, a character table, a localized digit list, or a chronogram, or if the string or file is very small in size (for example, less than one 100 bytes).

To get all possible encodings for the file, use the -a option. Also by default, auto_ef uses the fastest process to examine the file. For more accurate results, use the -l option. To examine data with a limited set of encodings, use the -e option. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -a Shows all possible encodings in order of possibility, with scores in the range between 0.0 and 1.0. A higher score means a higher possibility. For example, example% auto_ef -a test_file eucJP 0.89 zh_CN.euc 0.04 ko_KR.euc 0.01 Without this option, only one encoding with the highest score is shown. -e encoding_list Examines data only with specified encodings. For example, when encoding_list is specified as "ko_KR.euc:ko_KR.cp949", auto_ef examines text only with CP949 and ko_KR.euc. Without this option, auto_ef examines text with all encodings. Multiple encodings can be specified by separating the encodings using a colon (:). -h Shows the usage message. -l level Specifies the level of judgment. The value of level can be 0, 1, 2, or 3. Level 3 produces the best result but can be slow. Level 0 is fastest but results can be less accurate than in higher levels. The default is level 0. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: file File name to examine. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Examining encoding of a file example% auto_ef file_name Example 2: Examining encoding of a file at level 2. example% auto_ef -l 2 file_name Example 3: Examining encoding of a file with only eucJP or ko_KR.euc example% auto_ef -e "eucJP:ko_KR.euc" file_name EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion 1 An error occurred. ATTRIBUTES
