Hi,

I know PHP supports utf8 encode/decode, but does it support utf16
encode/decode? If yes, would you please point me a php manual URL?
It's listed as supported under the mbstring functions here:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/mbstring.supported-encodings.php

Thanks Chris for the link, PHP has utf8_encode and utf8_decode. Does
PHP provide utf16_encode and utf16_decode, or the mbstring has
different functions to encode and decode utf16?

the utf8_ functions are just a bodge to use with the xml parser and only works to ISO-8859-1. mbstring will 'translate' any multibyte string between any of the formats on the list provided by the link.
So you just tell it what you want to do in
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-convert-encoding.php
There is no 'decode' since that is just a different 'encode'
