Function cApiStrRecodeString

Converts a string to another encoding. This function tries to detect which function to use (either recode or iconv).

If $sourceEncoding and $targetEncoding are the same, this function returns immediately.

For more information about encodings, refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encoding

For more information about the supported encodings in recode, refer to http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/recode/recode_toc.html

Note: depending on whether recode or iconv is used, the supported charsets differ. The following ones are commonly used and are most likely supported by both converters:

ISO-8859-1 to ISO-8859-15
ASCII
UTF-8
