Is there an issue, because this is a warning and I suspect you can get rid of it by defining an encoding in the decode function — ikdekker, Mar 13 '18 at 08:48

The default for the $encoding parameter is ini_get('default_charset'), i.e. whatever is set in your php.ini or has been set at runtime using ini_set. You have somehow set 'UTF-8;'. Remove the trailing ; (either in your php.ini or wherever you ini_set the value).
