hey there,

i added support for objects as well, since you have the possiblity to choose between objects and arrays :)

foreach ($_POST as $key => $val) // Re-write all incoming text into UTF8 streams
{
if (is_array($val)) {
$_POST[$key] = array_map(“utf8_encode”, $val);
}
else if (is_object($val))
{
foreach($val as $attr => $value)
$_POST[$key]->{$attr} = uft8_encode($value);
}
else {
$_POST[$key] = utf8_encode($val);
}
}

You’ve got a problem here if a $_POST variable is an array.

Try this:

foreach ($_POST as $key => $val) // Re-write all incoming text into UTF8 streams
if (is_array($val))
$_POST[$key] = array_map(“utf8_encode”, $val);
else
$_POST[$key] = utf8_encode($val);
