Change Details

The function utf8_decode() was a shortcut to convert strings encoded in ISO-8859-1 ("Latin 1") to and from UTF-8. This function was deprecated since PHP 8.2 and will probably will be removed in future versions: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/remove_utf8_decode_and_utf8_encode This change applies the exact proposed equivalent, that is: mb_convert_encoding($string, 'ISO-8859-1') Note that this function exists since PHP 4, so, there are no compatibility issues. https://we.phorge.it/T15188 https://wiki.php.net/rfc/remove_utf8_decode_and_utf8_encode https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-decode https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-convert-encoding.php https://github.com/rectorphp/rector/blob/main/docs/rector_rules_overview.md#utf8decodeencodetombconvertencodingrector Closes T15188

The function utf8_decode() was a shortcut to convert strings encoded from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 ("Latin 1"). This function was deprecated since PHP 8.2 and will be dropped in PHP 9: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/remove_utf8_decode_and_utf8_encode As mentioned in the RFC, if a $string is a valid UTF-8 string, so this could be used to count the number of code points: strlen(utf8_decode($string)) That works because any unmappable code point is replaced with the single byte '?' in the output. The native PHP approach is this one: mb_strlen($string, 'UTF-8'); Also, another approach is this one: iconv_strlen($string, 'UTF-8') Note that the first method can be adopted since PHP 4, so, there are no compatibility issues. https://we.phorge.it/T15188 https://wiki.php.net/rfc/remove_utf8_decode_and_utf8_encode https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-decode https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-convert-encoding.php https://github.com/rectorphp/rector/blob/main/docs/rector_rules_overview.md#utf8decodeencodetombconvertencodingrector Closes T15188
