       The optional <parameter>encoding</parameter> specifies the character
       encoding for the input/output in PHP 4. Starting from PHP 5, the input
       encoding is automatically detected, so that the
       <parameter>encoding</parameter> parameter specifies only the output
       encoding. In PHP 4, the default output encoding is the same as the
       input charset. If empty string is passed, the parser attempts to identify
       which encoding the document is encoded in by looking at the heading 3 or
       4 bytes. In PHP 5.0.0 and 5.0.1, the default output charset is
       ISO-8859-1, while in PHP 5.0.2 and upper is UTF-8. The supported
       encodings are <literal>ISO-8859-1</literal>, <literal>UTF-8</literal> and
       <literal>US-ASCII</literal>.
