Which encoding?

[Alex Bazan]

Not really a PHP question, but i've got an app that sends me this type of
encoding:

á (á) translates to %C3%A1
ñ (ñ) translates to %C3%B1

i've tried several decodings with PHP without any good result.
Anyone knows which type of encoding is this and which function to use in
order to decode it with PHP?

TIA.

Of course, seems like an an unicode string, the best way would be to
use
GNU Recode (http://www.php.net/recode), you can send it to a browser
with
$string = recode_string(" unicode..h3", $string);

merci beaucoup.
it was an utf-8 encoding. i finally decoded it with:

$string=utf8_de code(rawurlenco de($string));

If you only need ISO-8859-1 chars, utf8_decode will be enought.
Else, you'll loose chars.

I meant: $string=utf8_de code(rawurlDeco de($string));
