Hi,
is there any way to detect BOM in a file? I'm writing a parser which outputs
a number line if there's an error in it and its content. Every time it
parser a file saved in UTF-8 with BOM it outputs those three magic letters.
Can I pre-check for it and skip it? Or convert somehow?
Greetings,

The UTF-8 byte order mark is represented by the hexadecimal character
sequence EF BB BF. You can use something like this to detect a BOM:
if (substr($source, 0, 3) == pack('CCC', 0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF)) {
// has bom
}
