[PHP] utf8_decode() not working, conflicts with urlencode()

2011-08-30 Thread Merlin Morgenstern 

Hi there,

I am having some trouble with utf8_decode(). Somehow the function 
returns output=input


e.g.:
$input = '%20%C3%9Cbersetzung%20franz';
$output = utf8_decode($input);
echo $input.''.$output;

My goal is to decode the utf8, trim the input and encode with urlencode();

This is the string which I would like to get: %C3%9Cbersetzung+franz

Trim does not work and if I place urlencode() directly on the input it 
will encode the % sign to %25 and produce therfore a mixture of encodings.


Thank you for any help on that!

Merlin

It seems to me that you're probably missing a urldecode() on $input
before you attempt to decode the utf8 chars ?

[PHP] correct character decoding

2011-08-30 Thread Merlin Morgenstern 

Hi there,

I am trying to find a solution for decoding the same string from 2 
different character sets (UTF-8, Latin-1)


Looks like in the case of latin-1 I need to add utf8_encode before to 
get the same results. Here is an example


// utf-8
$input = urldecode('%20%C3%9Cbersetzung%20franz');
$output = trim(($input));
$output2 = urlencode($output);
echo $input.''.$output.''.$output2;
echo 'output 2';

echo '';
// latin 1
$input = urldecode('%DCbersetzung+franz');
$out = trim(utf8_encode($input));
$out2 = urlencode($out);
echo $input.''.$out.''.$out2;
echo 'output 2';


The latin-1 seems to need the utf8-encode to get the same result. Has 
anybody an idea on how to solve this? I need a function that works for 
latin-1 and UTF-8.


Thank you in advance for any help,

Merlin

That's right, this was missing. Thank you. However, this leeds to 
another problem which I described in a another posting.

Why don't you just check if the string is utf8 or not, and change convert it
accordingly?

$out = trim((mb_detect_encoding($input, 'UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-1') == 'UTF-8' ?
$input : utf8_encode($input)));

It may not be the most elegant version, but I can't think of anything
simpler right now.

Hello Louis, thank you that solved the problem. Looks like I did not use 
the mb_detect_encoding properly in my tests.

To all:

I prefer the Whitesmiths style:

But "style" is really up to the individual -- what works best for you is the 
"best" (unless it's a team effort or the clients demand).

[PHP] Books on PHP guts

2011-08-30 Thread Larry Garfield 
Hi folks.  I'm not looking to write new PHP extensions per se, but am 
looking to better grok the guts of PHP itself.  (That's a first step on 
the way to writing new extensions, though.  Gateway drug!)  I'm 
especially interested in the memory/performance implications of various 
techniques.


Are there any good books on the subject that would be of help?  I'm 
familiar with Sara Goleman's book[1], which has generally good reviews, 
but it's several years old now and I'm not sure if there's anything 
newer that covers PHP developments since the 5.0 days.


Any suggestions?

Actually, Sara's book should still be the most relevant on the
subject (at least of books in print).  There's another by an author
named Blake Schwendiman, named "Building Custom PHP Extensions" from
2003[1], which may be of some help, but that would be more
PHP4-centric, or previewing PHP5 RC's at best --- which wouldn't be
reliable in and of itself.  That said, as an additional resource on
the subject, it may be of some use.  I haven't read it myself, and
just found it searching on Amazon now.

All of that aside, obviously your best bet, knowing you, would be
trial-and-error.  I've written a few dozen extensions myself over the
years, and each and every time I've found out new and better ways of
doing things.  I'd start by writing extensions to optimize things you
use on a regular basis for clients or internally (such as redundant
database queries or encryption algorithms).  As for getting started,
Zend has a decent introduction[2] on the subject if you haven't yet
seen it.  It won't get as deep into the guts as you'd probably like,
but I'm not certain that there is anything on ink and paper.  For
that, your best bet would likely be the "Hacker's Guide" on
php.net[3].
