to_charset

to_charset is used to transcode a string from the internal charset to a given charset. This is the exact opposite of the from_charset modifier.

Parameters

1	string	No	ISO-8859-1, UTF-8, and any character set supported by mb_convert_encoding()	ISO-8859-1	The charset encoding the value is supposed to be encoded to

Charset encoding should be handled by the application itself. This modifier should only be used in cases where the application cannot anticipate that a certain string is required in another encoding.
