以下函数用来检测字符编码是不是utf-8，是返回true，不是返回false

function is_utf8($string) {
	return preg_match('%^(?:
			[\x09\x0A\x0D\x20-\x7E] # ASCII
			| [\xC2-\xDF][\x80-\xBF] # non-overlong 2-byte
			| \xE0[\xA0-\xBF][\x80-\xBF] # excluding overlongs
			| [\xE1-\xEC\xEE\xEF][\x80-\xBF]{2} # straight 3-byte
			| \xED[\x80-\x9F][\x80-\xBF] # excluding surrogates
			| \xF0[\x90-\xBF][\x80-\xBF]{2} # planes 1-3
			| [\xF1-\xF3][\x80-\xBF]{3} # planes 4-15
			| \xF4[\x80-\x8F][\x80-\xBF]{2} # plane 16
