Re: Re: Problem with non us caracters and "strtr"

I have little experience with this kind of problem. None of the Browsers I used under mac (IE 4 - 5 and sever NS 4.x) has sent the data different than Windows Browsers. But avoid the meta-tag charset. I had serious problems when the HTML-file where the form data came from had that tag set (but I didn't spend a lot of time investigating it). Anyway: why do you want to translate a ã to an a? I made good experiences with storing original chars and using htmlentities() (or otherway round if you don't have to edit that stuff) Stefan Rusterholz, s.rusterholz@interaktion.ch ---------------------------------- interaktion gmbh Stefan Rusterholz Zürichbergstrasse 17 8032 Zürich ---------------------------------- T. +41 1 253 19 55 F. +41 1 253 19 56 W3 www.interaktion.ch ---------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rodrigo Peres" <rperes@mac.com> To: "Yasuo Ohgaki" <yasuo_ohgaki@yahoo.com>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 2:51 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: Problem with non us caracters and "strtr" > I've tried the recode(), but I think I didn't uderstand it's functionality, > since nothing happens. can someone has an idea in how to convert for example > a string posted by a form in this format "são paulo" to this "sao paulo"?? > Does anyone knows how Macintosh's browsers send this special caracteres to > PHP??? > > Thank's again > > Rodrigo Peres > > > > > on 11/1/01 9:17 PM, Yasuo Ohgaki at yasuo_ohgaki@yahoo.com wrote: > > > Rodrigo Peres wrote: > > > >> Hi list, > >> > >> I'm in a big trouble.
