FAQ

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.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package forceutf8

forceutf8

PHP Class Encoding featuring popular \ForceUTF8\Encoding::toUTF8() function --formerly known as forceUTF8()-- that fixes mixed encoded strings.

Description

If you apply the PHP function utf8_encode() to an already-UTF8 string it will return a garbled UTF8 string.

This class addresses this issue and provides a handy static function called \ForceUTF8\Encoding::toUTF8().

You don't need to know what the encoding of your strings is. It can be Latin1 (ISO 8859-1), Windows-1252 or UTF8, or the string can have a mix of them. \ForceUTF8\Encoding::toUTF8() will convert everything to UTF8.

Sometimes you have to deal with services that are unreliable in terms of encoding, possibly mixing UTF8 and Latin1 in the same string.

Update:

I've included another function, \ForceUTF8\Encoding::fixUTF8(), which will fix the double (or multiple) encoded UTF8 string that looks garbled.

Usage:

use \ForceUTF8\Encoding;

$utf8_string = Encoding::toUTF8($utf8_or_latin1_or_mixed_string);

$latin1_string = Encoding::toLatin1($utf8_or_latin1_or_mixed_string);

also:

$utf8_string = Encoding::fixUTF8($garbled_utf8_string);

Examples:

use \ForceUTF8\Encoding;

echo Encoding::fixUTF8("Fédération Camerounaise de Football\n");
echo Encoding::fixUTF8("Fédération Camerounaise de Football\n");
echo Encoding::fixUTF8("Fédération Camerounaise de Football\n");
echo Encoding::fixUTF8("Fédération Camerounaise de Football\n");

will output:

Fédération Camerounaise de Football
Fédération Camerounaise de Football
Fédération Camerounaise de Football
Fédération Camerounaise de Football

Options:

By default, Encoding::fixUTF8 will use the Encoding::WITHOUT_ICONV flag, signalling that iconv should not be used to fix garbled UTF8 strings.

This class also provides options for iconv processing, such as Encoding::ICONV_TRANSLIT and Encoding::ICONV_IGNORE to enable these flags when the iconv class is utilized. The functionality of such flags are documented in the PHP iconv documentation.

Examples:

use \ForceUTF8\Encoding;

$str = "Fédération Camerounaise—de—Football\n"; // Uses U+2014 which is invalid ISO8859-1 but exists in Win1252
echo Encoding::fixUTF8($str); // Will break U+2014
echo Encoding::fixUTF8($str, Encoding::ICONV_IGNORE); // Will preserve U+2014
echo Encoding::fixUTF8($str, Encoding::ICONV_TRANSLIT); // Will preserve U+2014

will output:

Fédération Camerounaise?de?Football
Fédération Camerounaise—de—Football
Fédération Camerounaise—de—Football

while:

use \ForceUTF8\Encoding;

$str = "čęėįšųūž"; // Uses several characters not present in ISO8859-1 / Win1252
echo Encoding::fixUTF8($str); // Will break invalid characters
echo Encoding::fixUTF8($str, Encoding::ICONV_IGNORE); // Will remove invalid characters, keep those present in Win1252
echo Encoding::fixUTF8($str, Encoding::ICONV_TRANSLIT); // Will trasliterate invalid characters, keep those present in Win1252

will output:
