A better function to convert cp1251 string to utf8.Works with russian and ukrainian text.function unicod($str) {    $conv=array();    for($x=128;$x<=143;$x++) $conv[$x+112]=chr(209).chr($x);    for($x=144;$x<=191;$x++) $conv[$x+48]=chr(208).chr($x);    $conv[184]=chr(209).chr(145); #ё    $conv[168]=chr(208).chr(129); #Ё    $conv[179]=chr(209).chr(150); #і    $conv[178]=chr(208).chr(134); #І    $conv[191]=chr(209).chr(151); #ї    $conv[175]=chr(208).chr(135); #ї    $conv[186]=chr(209).chr(148); #є    $conv[170]=chr(208).chr(132); #Є    $conv[180]=chr(210).chr(145); #ґ    $conv[165]=chr(210).chr(144); #Ґ    $conv[184]=chr(209).chr(145); #Ґ    $ar=str_split($str);    foreach($ar as $b) if(isset($conv[ord($b)])) $nstr.=$conv[ord($b)]; else $nstr.=$b;    return $nstr;}

Sorry for my previous post. NOT array_reverce, array_flip is actual function. Correct function:function Encode($str,$type=u){    $conv=array();    for($x=192;$x<=239;$x++)        $conv[u][chr($x)]=chr(208).chr($x-48);    for($x=240;$x<=255;$x++)        $conv[u][chr($x)]=chr(209).chr($x-112);    $conv[u][chr(168)]=chr(208).chr(129);    $conv[u][chr(184)]=chr(209).chr(209);    $conv[w]=array_flip($conv[u]);    if($type=='w' || $type=='u')        return strtr($str,$conv[$type]);    else        return $str;}Sorry for my English ;)

threed's function works great, but the replacement for the letter small io (&#1105;) needs to be changed from<?phpif ($c==184) {$t.=chr(209).chr(209); continue; };?>to<?phpif ($c==184) {$t.=chr(209).chr(145); continue; };?>so, the final working result should look like this:<?phpfunctionwin3utf($s) {   for($i=0,$m=strlen($s);$i<$m;$i++)    {$c=ord($s[$i]);       if ($c<=127) {$t.=chr($c); continue; }       if ($c>=192&&$c<=207) {$t.=chr(208).chr($c-48); continue; }       if ($c>=208&&$c<=239) {$t.=chr(208).chr($c-48); continue; }       if ($c>=240&&$c<=255) {$t.=chr(209).chr($c-112); continue; }       if ($c==184) {$t.=chr(209).chr(209); continue; };       if ($c==168) {$t.=chr(208).chr(129); continue; };   }   return$t;}?>

Check this code -- exelent to convert win-1251 to UTF-8 just one fix!!!       if ($c==184) { $t.=chr(209).chr(145); continue; }; Anything more it is not necessary.It is grateful to threed [at] koralsoft.com28-Jul-2003 03:37 i tried all functions here to convert from cp1251 to unicode, but they don't work. i think that this work :<?phpfunctionwin3utf($s)    {    for($i=0,$m=strlen($s);$i<$m;$i++)    {$c=ord($s[$i]);        if ($c<=127) {$t.=chr($c); continue; }        if ($c>=192&&$c<=207)    {$t.=chr(208).chr($c-48); continue; }        if ($c>=208&&$c<=239) {$t.=chr(208).chr($c-48); continue; }        if ($c>=240&&$c<=255) {$t.=chr(209).chr($c-112); continue; }        if ($c==184) {$t.=chr(209).chr(209); continue; };    if ($c==168) {$t.=chr(208).chr(129);  continue; };    }    return$t; }?>

Unfortunately input data must be a string only. But it is may be changed! ;) To convert multi-dimensional array I use this recursive function:<?phpfunctionconvert_cyr_array($array,$from,$to){    foreach($arrayas$key=>$value){        if(is_array($value)) {$result[$key] =convert_cyr_array($value,$from,$to);            continue;        }$result[$key] =convert_cyr_string($value,$from,$to);    }    return$result;}?>An example:<?php$array[0] ="сВМПЛП";$array[1] ="зТХЫБ";$array[2] = array("пЗХТЕГ","рПНЙДПТ");$array[3] = array(                     array("бРЕМШУЙО","нБОДБТЙО"),                     array("бВТЙЛПУ","рЕТУЙЛ")                );$result=convert_cyr_array($array,"k","w");/* Returns:Array(  [0] => Яблоко  [1] => Груша  [2] => Array    (      [0] => Огурец      [1] => Помидор    )  [3] => Array    (      [0] => Array        (          [0] => Апельсин          [1] => Мандарин        )      [1] => Array        (          [0] => Абрикос          [1] => Персик        )    ))*/?>
