Re: utf-8 in $_POST

you don't have to have your files in utf-8 for it to work, just the browser header. although any utf-8 characters in your files will look funky. it just depends where the content comes from... you could always use &#174; for the (r) registered symbol for example. i'd be more apt to figuring out how to make things work under utf-8 than trying to force something from utf-8 back to iso-8859-1... personally :) On 1/16/08, Olav Mørkrid <olav.morkrid@gmail.com> wrote: > the user agents in question are various mobile phones, which as you > might guess are premature technology and have their own ways with > things. > > here is an example posting from a Samsung D600 which insists on > posting form data in UTF-8 even though i serve it ISO-8859-1 and it > claims to support all character sets. > > [_POST] => Array > ( > [message] => Norwegian characters: øá > ) > > [_SERVER] => Array > ( > [HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET] => * > [CONTENT_TYPE] => application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8 > [HTTP_USER_AGENT] => SAMSUNG-SGH-D600E/1.0 > Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 UP.Browser/6.2.3.3.c.1.101 > (GUI) MMP/2.0 > ) > > i would consider switching to utf-8 if i knew how make the windows > version of emacs work fine with utf-8 text files (and still work with > iso-8859-1 files as well).
