FastSitePHP\Encoding\Utf8

UTF-8 Encoding

For most PHP sites UTF-8 is the default character set and using this class is not needed. This class is useful for forcing different character sets to UTF-8 prior to JSON or XML encoding.

The PHP function [json_encode()] requires UTF-8 prior to encoding, otherwise it will trigger an error:
    JSON_ERROR_UTF8 - 'Malformed UTF-8 characters, possibly incorrectly encoded'

For example, IBM i-Series Servers use EBCDIC character encoding which correctly translates to UTF-8 for most characters, however it will trigger the error for some characters.

Another example is on FastSitePHP's Encryption Unit Tests, an array of binary strings need to be converted to UTF-8 prior to JSON encoding and hashing. Using this for binary data in most situations is not recommended, rather if you are working with binary files or data use binary format directly.

方法

encode($data)

静态功能

Encode data to UTF-8; this function recursively encodes data on Arrays and Objects.

With PHP 8.2 and above this function uses the following encoding function:
    iconv('windows-1252', 'UTF-8', $data) And below PHP 8.2:
    utf8_encode($data)

If you have different needs for a special character set then copying and modifying this class is recommended.
