Download the PHP
package fossar/transcoder without Composer
On this page you can find all versions of the php package
fossar/transcoder. It is possible to download/install
these versions without Composer. Possible dependencies are resolved
automatically.
After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.
Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories.
In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages.
Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository.
You can look here for more information.
Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
This is a wrapper around PHP’s mb_convert_encoding and iconv functions. This library adds:
fallback from mb to iconv for encodings it does not support
conversion of warnings to proper exceptions.
Installation
The recommended way to install the Transcoder library is through Composer:
This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained in the installation chapter of the Composer documentation.
Usage
Basics
Create the right transcoder for your platform and translate a string to ISO-8859-1 encoding:
You can also manually instantiate a transcoder of your liking:
Or:
Source encoding
The second argument accepts source encoding and can actually be omitted or passed null.
In that case, however, the behaviour is backend-specific:
IconvTranscoder will use the encoding of the current locale of the process.
MbTranscoder will try to detect encoding from a list based on the value of mbstring.language setting. By default, this tries ASCII, followed by UTF-8. The number of supported languages is limited though and the encoding tables often overlap so the detection might be unreliable.
As you can see, this is mostly useless for western languages. You will get much more reliable results when you specify the source encoding explicitly.
Target encoding
Specify a default target encoding as the first argument to create():
Alternatively, specify a target encoding as the third argument in a transcode() call:
Error handling
PHP’s mv_convert_encoding and iconv are inconvenient to use because they generate notices and warnings instead of proper exceptions. This library fixes that:
Transcoder fallback
In general, mb_convert_encoding is faster than iconv. However, as iconv supports more encodings than mb_convert_encoding, it makes sense to combine the two.
So, the Transcoder returned from create():
uses mb_convert_encoding if the mbstring PHP extension is installed;
if not, it uses iconv instead if the iconv extension is installed;
if both the mbstring and iconv extension are available, the Transcoder will first try mb_convert_encoding and fall back to iconv.
Composer command for our command line client (download client)This client runs in each environment. You don't need a specific PHP version etc. The first 20 API calls are free.Standard composer command
