Converts an ANSI or Unicode string to UTF-8.
Example
MaChaîneUnicode is string Unicode = "début"
// MaChaîneUnicode contient la suite d'octets : 0064 00E9 0062 0075 0074

MaChaîneEnUTF8 is Buffer = StringToUTF8(MaChaîneUnicode)
// MaChaîneEnUTF8 contient la suite d'octets : 64 C3 A9 62 75 74
// Le caractère "é" a été encodé en C3 A9
IF UTF8Valid(MaChaîneEnUTF8) THEN
	// Conversion en Unicode
	MaChaîneUnicode is string Unicode = UTF8ToString(MaChaîneEnUTF8)
END
Syntax
<Result> = StringToUTF8(<String to convert> [, <Charset of string to convert>])
<Result>: Character string or Buffer
  • Character string or buffer in UTF-8 format,
  • EOT if conversion problems occurred.
<String to convert>: Character string
String to convert to UTF-8.
WINDEVWEBDEV - Server code This string can correspond to:
  • an ANSI string in the current character set. The result will be an ANSI string containing the conversion to UTF-8.
  • an ANSI string in a specified character set. The result will be an ANSI string containing the conversion to UTF-8. This conversion takes the initial character set into account.
  • a Unicode string. The result will be a buffer containing the conversion to UTF-8.
<Charset of string to convert>: Optional integer
Source character set of string to convert. By default, this parameter corresponds to the charsetCurrent constant (specified in ChangeCharset).
charsetAnsiRoman characters in ANSI standard
charsetArabicArabic characters
charsetBalticBaltic characters
charsetChineseChinese characters (People's Republic of China)

Remarks
PHP

Conversion in PHP

The conversion in PHP uses the following extensions:
  • the php_iconv.dll extension
  • the php_mbstring.dll extension
If none of these PHP extensions are used, only Latin characters will be converted (e.g., Chinese or Russian characters will not be converted).
The php_iconv.dll and php_mbstring.dll extensions are currently proposed on PHP servers. To find out if your host offers these extensions, simply enter the following information into a search engine: phpinfo <Host Name>.
To install these extensions on your own PHP server, simply uncomment the desired extension in the PHP.INI file.

PARA RESOLVER PROBLEMAS DE ACENTUAÇÃO

Prezados,

Caso de problema com acentuação, use:

retorno is string = UFT8toString(textocomacento)

USE O COMANDO UTF8ToString OU AnsiToUnicode


Procedure WS_Android_IOS_HTTPGetResult()

// Variable
bufResHTTP is Buffer
sHTTPResult is string

// Retrieves the result of the query

bufResHTTP=HTTPGetResult(httpResult)

// Result in UTF8 em iOS Apple

If IniOSMode() =True OR IniOSSimulatorMode() =True OR IniOSEmulatorMode() =True

IF StringCount(bufResHTTP, “ISO-8859-1”,IgnoreCase) =0

sHTTPResult=UTF8ToString(bufResHTTP)

ELSE

sHTTPResult=AnsiToUnicode(bufResHTTP)

END

ELSE IF inAndroidMode() =True OR InAndroidSimulatorMode() =True OR InAndroidEmulatorMode() =True

// Result in Android

sHTTPResult=bufResHTTP

END

RESULT sHTTPResult
