note 26579 deleted from function.urlencode by tularis

Note Submitter: leckermatz attt yahoo dottt de ---- Addendum: In Flash 6 there finally is a working method of passing special characters into a flash movie.In order to do this, the php file which generaes the output (an is adressen in flash via the "loadVariables" action) must be saved as an UTF-8 encoded file. By doing so, the file will gain an BOM and will be properly recognized as UTF8-encoded by the flash movie. Now all you need to do is something like echo "textvar=".urlencode(utf8_encode("lots of special chars: äöü...")); and that should work fine. another thing: Flash interprets both \r and \n as newline commands. Therefore ot will insert 2 line breaks whenever there is only one. i.e., nl2br($string) will NOT work properly. Better use a function that will replace "\n" values from your database with "<br />" rather than "<br />\r", as nl2br would do. Example: function nltobr($input) { $input=nl2br($input); $input=str_replace("\r","",$input); return $input; }
