Procedural style
$domain,$flags = IDNA_DEFAULT,$variant = INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46,&$idna_info = nullThis function converts a Unicode domain name to an IDNA ASCII-compatible format.
domainThe domain to convert, which must be UTF-8 encoded.
flagsConversion 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_*.
The domain name encoded in ASCII-compatible form, or false on failure
