php-emoji - Process Emoji in PHP and display them as HTML

This is a PHP library for dealing with mobile device Emoji.

You can read more about it and see a demo here:
http://code.iamcal.com/php/emoji/

It is based on a Ruby library here:
http://www.bitcontrol.org/2009/10/18/emoji-rubygem-for-iphone-softbank-ntt-docomo-kddi/

And data from Unicode here:
http://www.unicode.org/~scherer/emoji4unicode/snapshot/full.html

Important note: As of iOS 6, the iPhone uses unified codepoints. You no longer need to do any conversion at input/output time, unless you want to convert it to HTML for viewing on PCs, Android phones, older Macs, etc.

USAGE

<?php
    include('emoji.php');

    $emoji = new Emoji;

#
# functions to convert incoming data into the unified format
#

$data = $emoji->emojiDocomoToUnified(       $text);
$data = $emoji->emojiKddiToUnified(         $text);
$data = $emoji->emojiSoftbankToUnified(     $text);
$data = $emoji->emojiGoogleToUnified(       $text);
$data = $emoji->emojiHtmlToUnified(         $text);

#
# functions to convert unified data into an outgoing format
#

$data = $emoji->emojiUnifiedToDocomo(       $text);
$data = $emoji->emojiUnifiedToKddi(         $text);
$data = $emoji->emojiUnifiedToSoftbank(     $text);
$data = $emoji->emojiUnifiedToGoogle(       $text);
$data = $emoji->emojiUnifiedToHtml(         $text);

$data = $emoji->emojiConvert(               $text, $map);
$data = $emoji->emojiGetName(               $unified_cp);

?>

When using the HTML format, you'll also need to include the emoji.css file, which points to the emoji.png image. These images come from the gemoji project and cover all current codepoints, except U+1F320, Shooting Star.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This library currently only deals with UTF-8. If your source data is JIS or Shift-JIS, you're out of luck for the moment.
