ICONV(3) 1 ICONV(3)
iconv - Convert string to requested character encoding
SYNOPSIS
string iconv (string $in_charset, string $out_charset, string $str)
DESCRIPTION
Performs a character set conversion on the string $str from $in_charset to $out_charset.
PARAMETERS
o $in_charset
- The input charset.
o $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 and an E_NOTICE is generated.
o $str
- The string to be converted.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the converted string or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
iconv(3) example
<?php
$text = "This is the Euro symbol 'EUR'.";
echo 'Original : ', $text, PHP_EOL;
echo 'TRANSLIT : ', iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT", $text), PHP_EOL;
echo 'IGNORE : ', iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1//IGNORE", $text), PHP_EOL;
echo 'Plain : ', iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1", $text), PHP_EOL;
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
Original : This is the Euro symbol 'EUR'.
TRANSLIT : This is the Euro symbol 'EUR'.
IGNORE : This is the Euro symbol ''.
Plain :
Notice: iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input string in .iconv-example.php on line 7
This is the Euro symbol '
