您需要在输入上测试字符集，因为响应可以用不同的编码进行编码。

我强迫所有的内容被发送到UTF-8通过做检测和翻译使用以下功能:

function fixRequestCharset()
{
  $ref = array(&$_GET, &$_POST, &$_REQUEST);
  foreach ($ref as &$var)
  {
    foreach ($var as $key => $val)
    {
      $encoding = mb_detect_encoding($var[$key], mb_detect_order(), true);
      if (!$encoding)
        continue;
      if (strcasecmp($encoding, 'UTF-8') != 0)
      {
        $encoding = iconv($encoding, 'UTF-8', $var[$key]);
        if ($encoding === false)
          continue;
        $var[$key] = $encoding;
      }
    }
  }
}

该例程将把来自远程主机的所有PHP变量转换为UTF-8。

如果无法检测或转换编码，则忽略该值。

您可以根据自己的需要定制它。

只需在使用变量之前调用它。

首先必须检测使用了什么编码。在解析RSS提要时(可能通过HTTP)，应该从Content-Type HTTP报头字段的字符集参数中读取编码。如果不存在，则从XML处理指令的encoding属性中读取编码。如果也没有，请使用规范中定义的UTF-8。

以下是我可能会做的:

I’d use cURL to send and fetch the response. That allows you to set specific header fields and fetch the response header as well. After fetching the response, you have to parse the HTTP response and split it into header and body. The header should then contain the Content-Type header field that contains the MIME type and (hopefully) the charset parameter with the encoding/charset too. If not, we’ll analyse the XML PI for the presence of the encoding attribute and get the encoding from there. If that’s also missing, the XML specs define to use UTF-8 as encoding.

$url = 'http://www.lr-online.de/storage/rss/rss/sport.xml';

$accept = array(
    'type' => array('application/rss+xml', 'application/xml', 'application/rdf+xml', 'text/xml'),
    'charset' => array_diff(mb_list_encodings(), array('pass', 'auto', 'wchar', 'byte2be', 'byte2le', 'byte4be', 'byte4le', 'BASE64', 'UUENCODE', 'HTML-ENTITIES', 'Quoted-Printable', '7bit', '8bit'))
);
$header = array(
    'Accept: '.implode(', ', $accept['type']),
    'Accept-Charset: '.implode(', ', $accept['charset']),
);
$encoding = null;
$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
$response = curl_exec($curl);
if (!$response) {
    // error fetching the response
} else {
    $offset = strpos($response, "\r\n\r\n");
    $header = substr($response, 0, $offset);
    if (!$header || !preg_match('/^Content-Type:\s+([^;]+)(?:;\s*charset=(.*))?/im', $header, $match)) {
        // error parsing the response
    } else {
        if (!in_array(strtolower($match[1]), array_map('strtolower', $accept['type']))) {
            // type not accepted
        }
        $encoding = trim($match[2], '"\'');
    }
    if (!$encoding) {
        $body = substr($response, $offset + 4);
        if (preg_match('/^<\?xml\s+version=(?:"[^"]*"|\'[^\']*\')\s+encoding=("[^"]*"|\'[^\']*\')/s', $body, $match)) {
            $encoding = trim($match[1], '"\'');
        }
    }
    if (!$encoding) {
        $encoding = 'utf-8';
    } else {
        if (!in_array($encoding, array_map('strtolower', $accept['charset']))) {
            // encoding not accepted
        }
        if ($encoding != 'utf-8') {
            $body = mb_convert_encoding($body, 'utf-8', $encoding);
        }
    }
    $simpleXML = simplexml_load_string($body, null, LIBXML_NOERROR);
    if (!$simpleXML) {
        // parse error
    } else {
        echo $simpleXML->asXML();
    }
}

检测编码是困难的。

mb_detect_encoding works by guessing, based on a number of candidates that you pass it. In some encodings, certain byte-sequences are invalid, an therefore it can distinguish between various candidates. Unfortunately, there are a lot of encodings, where the same bytes are valid (but different). In these cases, there is no way to determine the encoding; You can implement your own logic to make guesses in these cases. For example, data coming from a Japanese site might be more likely to have a Japanese encoding.

As long as you only deal with Western European languages, the three major encodings to consider are utf-8, iso-8859-1 and cp-1252. Since these are defaults for many platforms, they are also the most likely to be reported wrongly about. Eg. if people use different encodings, they are likely to be frank about it, since else their software would break very often. Therefore, a good strategy is to trust the provider, unless the encoding is reported as one of those three. You should still doublecheck that it is indeed valid, using mb_check_encoding (note that valid is not the same as being - the same input may be valid for many encodings). If it is one of those, you can then use mb_detect_encoding to distinguish between them. Luckily that is fairly deterministic; You just need to use the proper detect-sequence, which is UTF-8,ISO-8859-1,WINDOWS-1252.

一旦检测到编码，就需要将其转换为内部表示(UTF-8是唯一明智的选择)。函数utf8_encode将ISO-8859-1转换为UTF-8，因此它只能用于特定的输入类型。对于其他编码，使用mb_convert_encoding。

提醒一下。您说在您的数据库中“ß”应该显示为“Ÿ”。

这可能是因为你正在使用一个Latin-1字符编码的数据库，或者你的PHP-MySQL连接设置错误，也就是说，P认为你的MySQL设置为使用UTF-8，所以它发送数据为UTF-8，但你的MySQL认为PHP发送的数据编码为ISO 8859-1，所以它可能再次尝试将你发送的数据编码为UTF-8，造成这种麻烦。

看一下mysql_set_charset。它可能对你有帮助。

你的编码看起来像是用UTF-8编码了两次;也就是说，从其他编码，转换成UTF-8，再转换成UTF-8。就好像您有ISO 8859-1，从ISO 8859-1转换为UTF-8，并将新字符串处理为ISO 8859-1，以便再次转换为UTF-8。

下面是你所做的一些伪代码:

$inputstring = getFromUser();
$utf8string = iconv($current_encoding, 'utf-8', $inputstring);
$flawedstring = iconv($current_encoding, 'utf-8', $utf8string);

你应该试试:

使用mb_detect_encoding()或任何您喜欢使用的方法来检测编码 如果是UTF-8，转换成ISO 8859-1，然后重复步骤1 最后，转换回UTF-8

这是假设在“中间”转换中使用ISO 8859-1。如果您使用的是Windows-1252，则转换为Windows-1252 (latin1)。原始源编码并不重要;你在有缺陷的第二次转换中使用的是。

以下是我对所发生事情的猜测;要用四个字节代替一个扩展的ASCII字节，您几乎没有其他办法。

德语也使用ISO 8859-2和Windows-1250(拉丁语-2)。

我知道这是一个老问题，但我认为一个有用的答案不会有坏处。我在桌面应用程序、SQLite和GET/POST变量之间的编码有问题。有些会使用UTF-8，有些会使用ASCII，当涉及到外国字符时，基本上所有事情都会搞砸。

这是我的解决方案。在处理之前，它会在每个页面加载时擦除GET/POST/REQUEST(我省略了cookie，但如果需要可以添加它们)。它在标题中工作得很好。如果PHP不能自动检测到源编码，它将抛出警告，因此这些警告将被@'s抑制。

//Convert everything in our vars to UTF-8 for playing nice with the database...
//Use some auto detection here to help us not double-encode...
//Suppress possible warnings with @'s for when encoding cannot be detected
try
{
    $process = array(&$_GET, &$_POST, &$_REQUEST);
    while (list($key, $val) = each($process)) {
        foreach ($val as $k => $v) {
            unset($process[$key][$k]);
            if (is_array($v)) {
                $process[$key][@mb_convert_encoding($k,'UTF-8','auto')] = $v;
                $process[] = &$process[$key][@mb_convert_encoding($k,'UTF-8','auto')];
            } else {
                $process[$key][@mb_convert_encoding($k,'UTF-8','auto')] = @mb_convert_encoding($v,'UTF-8','auto');
            }
        }
    }
    unset($process);
}
