Dear PHP Gurus,
I have a debate on the following please let me know what is true / false.
I'am using a PHP function *is_UTF_8_file ($file_name) *that I've found
as part of my PHP 5.3 installation.
This function checks if the file start with the 3 UTF-8 BOM bytes.
However another guy told me that there is way to detect if a file is a
UTF-8 without having the BOM at the file start.
To me it sounds impossible since if you do not have this indication you
have a stream of bytes that you can never tell 100% if that is UTF-8 or
else.
Who is rigt here ?
If there is a Magical function that can detect files without a BOM if
they are UTF-8 or not please share you knowledge if this
is not a "NULL" or impossible function as I thought.
Many thanks for you wise advise.
