An implementation of RFC 3492 Punycode in PHP, based on the sample implementation in Appendix C.
This is NOT a substitue for idn_to_ascii and idn_to_utf8.
- PHP 7.1+
composer require rowbot/punycodeThe Punycode::decode() method takes an ASCII encoded string and decodes it to a UTF-8 encoded
string. Optionally, the second parameter can be specified to place a limit on the size of the
returned string.
$input- An ASCII encoded punycode string to convert to a UTF-8 encoded string.$outLength- A positive integer representing the maximum length, in code points, of the resulting output string. Defaults to 2,147,483,647.$caseFlags- An array, which will have the case flag of each character inserted into it.
\Rowbot\Punycode\Exception\OutputSizeExceededException- If the size of the output string exceeds the maximum size specified.\Rowbot\Punycode\Exception\OverflowException- If integer overflow occurs.\Rowbot\Punycode\Exception\InvalidInputException- If input contains non-ASCII bytes or mapping a code point to a digit fails.
use Rowbot\Punycode\Punycode;
try {
echo Punycode::decode('Hello-Another-Way--fc4qua05auwb3674vfr0b'); // Hello-Another-Way-それぞれの場所
} catch (\Rowbot\Punycode\Exception\PunycodeException $e) {
echo 'An error occured!';
}The Punycode::encode() method takes a UTF-8 encoded string and converts it into an ASCII encoded
punycode string. Optionally, the second parameter can be specified to place a limit on the size of

$input- A UTF-8 encoded string to convert to punycode.$outLength- A positive integer representing the maximum length, in code points, of the resulting output string. Defaults to 2,147,483,647.$caseFlags- An array of bools where true indicates that the character should be uppercase and false indicates that it should be lowercase. This only affects ASCII characters[a-zA-Z].
\Rowbot\Punycode\Exception\OutputSizeExceededException- If the size of the output string exceeds the maximum size specified.\Rowbot\Punycode\Exception\OverflowException- If integer overflow occurs.
