mixed

Converts character encoding of variables var and vars in encoding from_encoding to encoding to_encoding.

mb_convert_variables join strings in Array or Object to detect encoding, since encoding detection tends to fail for short strings. Therefore, it is impossible to mix encoding in single array or object.

ENTITY

to_encoding
The encoding that the string is being converted to.

from_encoding
The current encoding of the variables. Multiple encodings may be specified as an array or comma separated string, in which case the encoding is detected among the listed encodings. "auto" is expanded according to the mbstring.language INI setting.

var
var is the reference to the variable being converted. String, Array and Object are accepted. mb_convert_variables assumes all parameters have the same encoding.

vars
Additional vars.

ENTITY

The character encoding before conversion for success, or ENTITY for failure.
