While PHP's [internationalization extension][PHP_INTL] offers excellent and extensive functionality for dealing with human languages, character encodings, and various related things, it is not always available. Moreover, its character decoder does not yield the same results as [WHATWG's Encoding standard][ENCODING], making it unsuitable for implementing parsers for URLs or HTML. The more widely used [multi-byte string extension][PHP_MBSTRING] not only suffers the same problems, but is also very slow.
Included here is a WHATWG-compatible UTF-8 string decoder which is reasonably performant while requiring no external dependencies or PHP extensions. In time it will be extended to cover the entire suite of WHATWG character encodings, and may also provide other character-centric internationalization functionality.
Included here is a partial suite of WHATWG-compatible string decoders which are reasonably performant while requiring no external dependencies or PHP extensions. At present it includes UTF-8 and all single-byte encodings. In time it will be extended to cover the entire suite of WHATWG character encodings, and may also provide other character-centric internationalization functionality.
