[SOLVED] UTF8 Encoding?

[Mike088]

Hey everyone I'm trying to encode a variable into UTF8 char set, I don't want the whole thing UTF8 just this variables data. How would I go about doing that?

 

My variable as follows:

$link = ("<a href=\"http://$url\blahblah">Link Here</a>");

 

I tried and failed with this:

string utf8_encode  (string $link);

 

So all up I want to encode the variable then print/echo it.

 

Help appreciated

You should just do

utf8_encode($link);

 

The "string" part is just for specifying datatypes. It means that the $link argument should be a string and that the function will return a string value.
