hello

does php have any built-in functions to convert post data from
whatever format it arrives in to whatever format i wish?

example:

i use iso-8859-1 internally, and even specify
accept-charset=iso-8859-1 in my html, but some browsers (phones) send
utf-8 anyway.

do i have to manually check if CONTENT_TYPE says "utf-8" and then
convert the $_POST array elements one by one, or does php have any
built-in functions to ease this?

That's interesting question.

Do you generate the pages, respectively do you specify something like this -

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

My experience is that this does not affect only the displayed characters, but the way the form fields are transported.

But perhaps I am wrong,
