Method for PHP to automatically identify text encoding and convert it to the target encoding, _PHP tutorial

How PHP automatically identifies text encoding and converts it to the target encoding.

The example in this article describes the method of PHP automatically identifying the text encoding and converting it to the target encoding. Share it with everyone for your reference. The details are as follows:

When PHP processes pages, we use functions such as iconv or mb_convert to convert character sets, but this actually has a prerequisite. That is, we must know in advance what encoding in and out are so that we can perform the correct conversion.

Although most conversions are between gbk and utf-8, what should you do if you don’t know the encoding of the conversion object? Google has come up with such a function safeEncoding, which can easily identify the encoding of UTF8 and GBK. This function is very accurate to a certain extent, but it is not so easy to use in some more complex environments. Below I combine the differences between GBK and UTF-8 encoding and use regular expressions to determine UTF-8 Encode and use the mb_convert_encoding function to convert. In China, the most popular encodings are GBK and UTF-8, so this function automatically converts these two encodings.

/**
* @ string 需要转换的文字
* @ encoding 目标编码
**/
function detect_encoding($string,$encoding = 'gbk'){
 $is_utf8 = preg_match('%^(?:[\x09\x0A\x0D\x20-\x7E]| [\xC2-\xDF][\x80-\xBF]| \xE0[\xA0-\xBF][\x80-\xBF] | [\xE1-\xEC\xEE\xEF][\x80-\xBF]{2}  | \xED[\x80-\x9F][\x80-\xBF] | \xF0[\x90-\xBF][\x80-\xBF]{2} | [\xF1-\xF3][\x80-\xBF]{3} | \xF4[\x80-\x8F][\x80-\xBF]{2} )*$%xs', $string);
 if($is_utf8 && $encoding == 'utf8'){
  return $string;
 }elseif($is_utf8){
  return mb_convert_encoding($string, $encoding, "UTF-8");
 }else{
  return mb_convert_encoding($string, $encoding, 'gbk,gb2312,big5');
 }
} 

I hope this article will be helpful to everyone’s PHP programming design.
