here is possibility for dual interpretation - from page headers and from Meta tags....


<div>
The data is already entered in the database table. The data is a mix of ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8. When I publish the data on a html page (PHP generated), and set that page to either ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 (using php page headers or html meta tags), some of those records don't have the correct encoding type. Because I don't know which records that are, I would like to be able to translate the text into another encoding when publishing that text. I would like to know whether it's possible to detect the encoding type based on a text string.

I'm working on a website that has a nasty problem. Some pages use UTF-8, other ISO-8859-1. Data is entered in the database using both methods. Now it turns out that for (at least) one of those pages the encoding is changed, resulting in data in the table that is UTF-8 for some records, and ISO-8859-1 for other. The database is set to 8859-1. <br />
<br />
Is it possible to detect per record which encoding is used? Depending on the encoding I could use a php-function like utf8-encode.

Web Development

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system with an emphasis on extensibility and standards-compliance. As a database server, its primary function is to store data securely, supporting best practices, and to allow for retrieval at the request of other software applications. PostgreSQL implements the majority of the SQL2011 standard, is ACID-compliant and transactional using multiversion concurrency control (MVCC), and handles complex SQL queries using many indexing methods that are not available in other databases. It is cross-platform and runs on many operating systems including Linux, FreeBSD, OS X, Solaris, and Microsoft Windows.
