here is a small updated version of utf8ize that has the following addition :
* It uses iconv instead of utf8_encode for potentially better result.
* It adds the support of objects variable
* It also update array key value (in a case I met I had to utf8ize the key as well as those were generated from a user input value)
Here is the code.
<?php
function utf8ize($d) {
if (is_array($d)) {
foreach ($d as $k => $v) {
unset($d[$k]);
$d[utf8ize($k)] = utf8ize($v);
}
} else if (is_object($d)) {
$objVars = get_object_vars($d);
foreach($objVars as $key => $value) {
$d->$key = utf8ize($value);
}
} else if (is_string ($d)) {
return iconv('UTF-8', 'UTF-8//IGNORE', utf8_encode($d));
}
return $d;
}
?>
