utf8_encode — Encodes an ISO-8859-1 string to UTF-8
$data
)
This function converts the string data from the
ISO-8859-1 encoding to UTF-8.
Note:
Many web pages marked as using the ISO-8859-1 character encoding actually use the similar Windows-1252 encoding, and web browsers will interpret ISO-8859-1 web pages as Windows-1252. Windows-1252 features additional printable characters, such as the Euro sign (€) and curly quotes (“ ”), instead of certain ISO-8859-1 control characters. This function will not convert such Windows-1252 characters correctly. Use a different function if Windows-1252 conversion is required.
dataAn ISO-8859-1 string.
