# idn_to_utf8

(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PECL intl >= 1.0.2, PECL idn >= 0.1)

idn_to_utf8 — Convert domain name from IDNA ASCII to Unicode.

### Description

Procedural style

string idn_to_utf8 ( string `$domain` [, int `$options` = 0 [, int `$variant` = INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_2003 [, array `&$idna_info` ]]] )

This function converts Unicode domain name from IDNA ASCII-compatible format to plain Unicode, encoded in UTF-8.

### Parameters

`domain`

  Domain to convert in IDNA ASCII-compatible format.

`options`

  Conversion options - combination of IDNA_* constants (except IDNA_ERROR_* constants).

`variant`

  Either `INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_2003` for IDNA 2003 or `INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46` for UTS #46.

`idna_info`

  This parameter can be used only if `INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46` was used for `variant`. In that case, it will be filled with an array with the keys 'result', the possibly illegal result of the transformation, 'isTransitionalDifferent', a boolean indicating whether the usage of the transitional mechanisms of UTS #46 either has or would have changed the result and 'errors', which is an int representing a bitset of the error constants IDNA_ERROR_*.

### Return Values

Domain name in Unicode, encoded in UTF-8. or `FALSE` on failure

### Changelog

Version | Description
--- | ---
5.4.0/PECL 2.0.0b1 | Added the parameters `variant` and `idna_info`; UTS #46 support.
