Re: Problems with UTF

Hi Peter, I am returning XML from my php script so I should use the charset in my XML header? The database (which holds the data) should be set to utf8 and the same thing in the XML header, right? On 8/28/06, Peter Lauri <lists@dwsasia.com> wrote:

Hi, Have you set header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); in your php script that you call via AJAX? Best regards, Peter PS! I assumed you were not sending any variables with the AJAX request? If so, you would need to do an utf-8 encoding of the variables and then a base64 encoding to make sure the arrive correctly. Of course you would after that need to decode the variables with base64_decode in your PHP script DS! -----Original Message----- From: mbneto [mailto:mbneto@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2006 2:57 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Problems with UTF Hi, I have a php based script that is called from a html page via ajax. Everything runs fine except when I use characters such as á that ends up like A! After searching and testing I found that if I remove the encodeURIComponentfrom the javascript and replace with escape everything works fine. So the question is what can I do from PHP side to make it play nice with those UTF encoded chars generated from encodeURIComponent? Since escape is deprecated I'd like to find out before I have tons of files to change.... tks.
