title: PHP: how to get the input encoded in ANSI
body: <p>When adding a get parameter such as ?key=é , PHP transforms that value immediately into UTF8.
  My script is not UTF8 and I must get the data in ISO-8859-1 by doing $_GET['key']</p>
  
  <p>strlen of that value should be 1. Not 2.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get that data in non-UTF8 without using a dependency such as mb or iconv.</p>
