You need to pass a second and third array to array_map() with the same number
of elements as the first array. The arguments to the callback function are the
elements from each array at the same offset.
Something like $clean = array_map('mb_convert_encoding', $dirty_arr,
array_fill(0, count($dirty_arr), 'utf-16'), array_fill(0, count($dirty_arr),
'utf-8'));

Wow, thanks for the clarification. I've decided to create my own
function and use that instead both because I found that there is some
other cleaning to do to the string and that code you posted is way too
convoluted to read! :)

I have this bit of code to see if a date is greater or equal to a set date.
echo(date("m/d/Y",strtotime($jobs_effective_start)));// displays entered date
of 01/03/2012
echo(date("m/d/Y",strtotime(WSOFFBEGIN))); // displays set date of 09/16/2011
if (!(date("m/d/Y",strtotime($jobs_effective_start)) >=
date("m/d/Y",strtotime(WSOFFBEGIN)))) {
$error.="The effective start date must be AFTER
".WSOFFBEGIN."\n"; unset($_POST["jobs_effective_start"]);
}
My error message is displaying. The if statement is executing as true, as if
01/03/2012 is not greater or equal to 09/16/2011.
This is not correct since a date in 2012 should be greater than a date in 2011.
If I use 12/31/2011 as the $job_effective_start date the error message is not
displayed since 12/31/2011 is greater than 09/16/2011 and the if statement
executes as fasle.
Any ideas on why a 2012 date is treated as not greater than a 2011 date?
Thanks
Marc

String comparisons (which is what is happening here) are done left to right. so
it's comparing month, then day, then year. You could use a Ymd format or just
compare the values of strtotime().

Why in the world are you comparing the formatted display dates instead
of the numeric dates set by strtotime?
if (!strtoftime($jobs_effective_start) >= strtotime(WSOFFBEGIN))
will do what you want.
Also -- why not just set WSOFFBEGIN to the converted date value
instead of converting it each time you use it? (Assuming that's a
defined constant.)
define('WSOFFBEGIN',strtotime("YYYY-MM-DD"));
or whatever.
If you need both forms (string and numeric) define two constants, one
dependent on the other.

Maybe use preg_split instead of explode? '/\s*|\s*/' -- assuming the
spaces between fields aren't important...

Hi all,
I am missing something pretty obvious here. The PHP Manual says
"Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is
sent, either by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or from
PHP.". A simple test case shows otherwise
I have the following code
test
<?php
setcookie("TestCookie", 'test');
nothing more nothing less.. only this code in a file
I get the output in the browser ("test") AND the cookie is set
(verified by live HTTP headers). Any ides on why this is happening ?
