under the * LGPL license. Notes on what changed are inside, but in general, * the original code transformed UTF-8 text into an array of integer * Unicode codepoints. Understandably, transforming that back to * a string would be somewhat expensive, so the function was modded to * directly operate on the string. However, this discourages code * reuse, and the logic enumerated here would be useful for any * function that needs to be able to understand UTF-8 characters. * As of right now, only smart lossless character encoding converters * would need that, and I'm probably not going to implement them. * Once again, PHP 6 should solve all our problems. */ function cleanUTF8($str) { $mState = 0; // cached expected number of octets after the current octet // until the beginning of the next UTF8 character sequence $mUcs4 = 0; // cached Unicode character $mBytes = 1; // cached expected number of octets in the current sequence // original code involved an $out that was an array of Unicode // codepoints.
