Answer 1

I solved adding another 'if' to manage objects in the 'utf8ize' function by @Konstantin (I've not used the other function) :

function utf8ize($mixed) {
    if (is_array($mixed)) {
        foreach ($mixed as $key => $value) {
            $mixed[$key] = utf8ize($value);
        }
    } else if (is_string ($mixed)) {
        return utf8_encode($mixed);
    } else if (is_object($mixed)) {
        $a = (array)$mixed; // from object to array
        return utf8ize($a);
    }
    return $mixed;
}
