$to_encoding
, mixed $from_encoding
, mixed &$vars
[, mixed &$...
] ) : string
Converts
character encoding of variables vars in
encoding from_encoding to encoding
to_encoding.
mb_convert_variables() join strings in Array or Object to detect encoding, since encoding detection tends to fail for short strings. Therefore, it is impossible to mix encoding in single array or object.
to_encodingThe encoding that the string is being converted to.
from_encoding
from_encoding is specified as an array
or comma separated string, it tries to detect encoding from
from-coding. When from_encoding
is omitted, detect_order is used.
vars
vars is the reference to the
variable being converted. String, Array and Object are accepted.
mb_convert_variables() assumes all parameters
have the same encoding.
...
Additional vars.
The character encoding before conversion for success,
or FALSE for failure.
