Convert UTF-8 to HTML unicode..

voided

Hi pple,
I have been trying to find a way to convert UTF-8 encoded strings to HTML unicode, meaning somthing like &#[so number]; or something similar. Is there a way to do this?

I know that phpmyadmin is able to do that but I have tried searching through the codes but found nothing. Can any kind soul out there pls help me out here?

Another problem is that is it possible to run co-current activites, meaning parallel proccessing in PHP?Thanks,

Regards

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but try html_entity_decode($string)

<added>Oh, here you go: utf8_decode($string)</added>

Hi,
Thanks for the speedy reply but when I tried the utf8_decode($someUTF8String), I got ??? in the browser.

My goal is to convert the UTF char into the HML decimal notation and when open in notepad, they will see &# and numbers and not the UTF charaters....

What about the htmlentities-function?
You can configure it to convert UTF-8 strings.

Maybe they're overkill, but depending on configuration, the [man]mbstring[/man] functions may be available, particularly [man]mb_convert_encoding[/man]. If you're doing any serious work with multibyte encodings such as Unicode, then it may be worth using these functions.
