|
This function converts the string <parameter>string</parameter> from the
|
|
<literal>UTF-8</literal> encoding to <literal>ISO-8859-1</literal>. Bytes
|
|
in the string which are not valid <literal>UTF-8</literal>, and
|
|
<literal>UTF-8</literal> characters which do not exist in
|
|
<literal>ISO-8859-1</literal> (that is, code points above
|
|
<literal>U+00FF</literal>) are replaced with <literal>?</literal>.

|
|
<note>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Many web pages marked as using the <literal>ISO-8859-1</literal> character
|
|
encoding actually use the similar <literal>Windows-1252</literal> encoding,
|
|
and web browsers will interpret <literal>ISO-8859-1</literal> web pages as
|
|
<literal>Windows-1252</literal>. <literal>Windows-1252</literal> features
|
|
additional printable characters, such as the Euro sign
|
|
(<literal>€</literal>) and curly quotes (<literal>“</literal>
|
|
<literal>”</literal>), instead of certain <literal>ISO-8859-1</literal>
|
|
control characters. This function will not convert such
|
|
<literal>Windows-1252</literal> characters correctly. Use a different
|
|
function if <literal>Windows-1252</literal> conversion is required.

Similar functionality can be achieved with <function>mb_convert_encoding</function>,
