Initial Code 
if (preg_match('!!u', $string))
{
   // this is utf-8
}
else 
{
   // definitely not utf-8
}
Initial URL

I can't say I can rely on mb_detect_encoding(). Had some freaky false positives a while back. The following code will detect when you need to enconde or decode it.

                                

                                                            

                                    

                                        

                                        Initial Title
                                        

                                    

                                    
Detect and convert utf-8 on string
