javascript unescape like php function
Posted by: pureessence on: March 29, 2005
when you start dealing with languages (i.e. chinese) that require 8 bit encoding or more, you will learn about all the wonderful jazz of utf8, unicode, ISO etc. i was looking all over for a php function that does what javascript unescape does. normally rawurldecode would work, but…
not on utf8 strings. my problem is i saved my chinese into a browser cookie and then i wish php to read and translate it to unicode for the browser to display.
for example, i’d like php to translate the utf8 string:
%u6211%u662F%u8C46%u8C46
to:
我是豆豆
to display:
我是豆豆
it ran into problems and i couldn’t find a way for php to translate that. thank god for this nifty function

I was searching for something similar and found your blog… but the link you provided is dead – could you please resurrect it?

Hi,
any chances to the link working ? I’m dreaming about this function.
Please,

try this one
function unicode_decode($txt) {
return ereg_replace(‘%u([[:alnum:]]{4})’, ‘&#x\1;’,$txt);
}

micrub:
try this one
function unicode_decode($txt) {
return ereg_replace(?%u([[:alnum:]]{4})?, ??,$txt);
}
thanks, this works great, except for the character “ő”, but i think i can manage this from here
