Description

string mb_detect_encoding ( string str [, mixed encoding_list [, bool strict]] )

mb_detect_encoding() detects character encoding in string str. It returns detected character encoding.

encoding_list is list of character encoding. Encoding order may be specified by array or comma separated list string.

If encoding_list is omitted, detect_order is used.

strict specifies whether to use the strict encoding detection or not. Default is FALSE.

Example 1. mb_detect_encoding() example <?php /* Detect character encoding with current detect_order */ echo mb_detect_encoding($str); /* "auto" is expanded to "ASCII,JIS,UTF-8,EUC-JP,SJIS" */ echo mb_detect_encoding($str, "auto"); /* Specify encoding_list character encoding by comma separated list */ echo mb_detect_encoding($str, "JIS, eucjp-win, sjis-win"); /* Use array to specify encoding_list  */ $ary[] = "ASCII"; $ary[] = "JIS"; $ary[] = "EUC-JP"; echo mb_detect_encoding($str, $ary); ?>
