[int$variant = INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46],
[array
): string|false
This function converts a Unicode domain name from an IDNA ASCII-compatible format to plain Unicode, encoded in UTF-8.
Parameters
- domain
-
Domain to convert in an IDNA ASCII-compatible format.
- flags
-
Conversion options - combination of IDNA_* constants (except IDNA_ERROR_* constants).
- variant
-
Either INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_2003 (deprecated as of PHP 7.2.0) for IDNA 2003 or INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46 (only available as of ICU 4.6) for UTS #46.
- idna_info
-
This parameter can be used only if INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46 was used for variant. In that case, it will be filled with an array with the keys 'result', the possibly illegal result of the transformation, 'isTransitionalDifferent', a boolean indicating whether the usage of the transitional mechanisms of UTS #46 either has or would have changed the result and 'errors', which is an int representing a bitset of the error constants IDNA_ERROR_*.
Return Values
The domain name in Unicode, encoded in UTF-8, or false on failure
