Utf8_(En|De)Code Removed from PHP7

utf8_(en|de)code removed from php7?

I had the same problem. Just install php7.0-xml package. Ubuntu 16.04:

sudo apt-get install php7.0-xml

Edit: Restart apache2 to load the new package.

PHP 7 cannot run utf8 functions

It looks like you are installing the wrong version of the xml extension: You seem to be installing the version for php 7.0 and you are using php 7.1.

Try looking for - and installing - php7.1-xmlrpc and php7.1-xml.

PHP7.0: Call to undefined function utf8_encode()

Do not use the utf8_encode() or utf8_decode() functions. They have misleading names -- they actually perform conversions between ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8. In most situations, they should not be necessary; your database and application should use UTF-8 text throughout, and should never deal with ISO-8859-1 text at all.

If you actually need to convert text from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 -- which is what utf8_encode() does -- use the iconv() function:

$utf8_text = iconv("ISO-8859-1", "UTF-8", $iso_8859_1_text);

Avoid the utf8_decode() function entirely. It converts UTF-8 text to ISO-8859-1, and will replace any character which isn't available in ISO-8859-1 with a question mark. This will mangle text written in many European languages, and will make non-Latin text (like Russian or Chinese) completely unreadable.

utf8_encode() and curl_init() not working on PHP7

As per our discussion discussion , below solution comes:-

1.Need to install CURL on your system by the command :-

sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl

2.Regarding second error i got this link:- utf8_(en|de)code removed from php7?

It states that utf8_encode/decode is function related to php xml extension which you have to install your system by below command:-

sudo apt-get install php7.0-xml

Important Note:- after install of these library packages restart your server so that changes will reflect. Thanks.

Call to undefined function utf8_decode

OK so I figured it out. This was related to missing files in /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/

Normally there should be an xml.ini file there but that file was missing because of how I had installed, uninstalled and re-installed PHP. That operation was not done cleanly. After installing PHP from the PPA I had uninstalled it, deleted many files from /etc/php/ (which is not recommended. Use apt-get purge instead).

So long story short, this worked:

sudo apt-get purge php-xml php7.0-xml

sudo apt-get install php-xml

How can I write a file in UTF-8 format?

file_get_contents() and file_put_contents() will not magically convert encoding.

You have to convert the string explicitly; for example with iconv() or mb_convert_encoding().

Try this:

$data = file_get_contents($npath);
$data = mb_convert_encoding($data, 'UTF-8', 'OLD-ENCODING');
file_put_contents('tempfolder/' . $a, $data);

Or alternatively, with PHP's stream filters:

$fd = fopen($file, 'r');
stream_filter_append($fd, 'convert.iconv.UTF-8/OLD-ENCODING');
stream_copy_to_stream($fd, fopen($output, 'w'));

Wordpress error on 'edit image' and 'add featured image': shows -1 instead of image

The problem was in my php.ini.

The following lines were like this:

variables_order = "GPCS"
request_order = ""

It says that request_order is OK to be empty as it will, in that case, use the variables_order directives. But that does not seem to be the case.

variables_order = "GPCS"
request_order = "GP" (GP is the default)

made my server behave correctly and consequently WP now works fine.
