You'r going the wrong way.
Make your page utf-8, all text on it. Set utf-8 encoding and treat all
incoming data as UTF-8. If some agent (definetly not some browser - they all
know UTF-8) doesn't understand that (that could be some "hacker" writing
it's own bot) - that's his problem. Then you will get all data incoming in
utf-8 and you can just add, modify and select it in and from database (don't
forget to set database and tables to UTF-8, that is default in MySQL 4.1 and
above).

If you have to deal with utf-8 data, you need the mb_string extension, see
manual.

Good advice.

Last night I read a chapter in the book "Core Web Application Development with PHP and MYSQL" by Wandschneider who said basically that -- a good read, btw.

Cheers,
