mb_internal_encoding — Set/Get internal character encoding

Description

mb_internal_encoding(?string $encoding = null): string|bool

Parameters

encoding is the character encoding name used for the HTTP input character encoding conversion, HTTP output character encoding conversion, and the default character encoding for string functions defined by the mbstring module. You should notice that the internal encoding is totally different from the one for multibyte regex.

Return Values

If encoding is set, then Returns true on success or false on failure. In this case, the character encoding for multibyte regex is NOT changed. If encoding is omitted, then the current character encoding name is returned.

Errors/Exceptions

As of PHP 8.0.0, a ValueError is thrown if the value of encoding is an invalid encoding. Prior to PHP 8.0.0, a E_WARNING was emitted instead.

Especially when writing PHP scripts for use on different servers, it is a very good idea to explicitly set the internal encoding somewhere on top of every document served, e.g.

mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");

This, in combination with mysql-statement "SET NAMES 'utf8'", will save a lot of debugging trouble.

Also, use the multi-byte string functions instead of the ones you may be used to, e.g. mb_strlen() instead of strlen(), etc.

Be aware that the strings in your source files must match the encoding you specify by mb_internal_encoding.  It appears the Parser loads raw bytes from the file and refers to its internal encoding to determine their actual encoding.

To demonstrate, the following outputs as espected when the /source/ file is Latin-1 encoded:

    mb_internal_encoding("iso-8859-1");
    mb_http_output( "UTF-8" );
    ob_start("mb_output_handler");

    echo

In response to mortoray at ecircle-ag dot com:

The characters display fine as long as you set the Encoding to something more "Latin 1" compatible (i.e. US-ACSII, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-1, or  Windows 1252). PHP.net auto-detects to UTF-8

Note that mb_internal_encoding is not necessary in PHP 5.6

i noticed that setting mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8') in my global site config.inc.php, doesn't work in my classes : it reverse back to ISO-8859-1.
Adding the call to the constructor of my top site class resolve this.

To previous example, the PHP notes don't appear to support umlauted characters so there are question marks  (?) there instead of what should be umlauated oue.  Just substitute any high-order/accented character to see the effect.
