Re: pear ajax and accented letters

Well it looks like your running into the php such at utf8 problems. You might try changing your setup so the mbstring functions override there generic versions. caractères' as 'caractères' is broken utf8, the JSON unserializer should be handling that fine on the PHP side, and i'm able to round trip those strings through it, but things get problematic if you run any string processing methods on it. -josh Adi wrote:

all works great....onel ast question...when data is sent from the client, do I have to decode/unserialize it? when I send the word 'caractères' it is interpreted as 'caractères' on the server side. looks like something internal to ajax is changing the accented character...how do I change it back to its original state? thanks... adam...

    Ok took me awhile to find the problem, but i got if figured out now.

    The JSON code can only ascii and UTF-8 encoded strings, i'm not sure
    what your sending it but its not one of those.  I'm guessing its UTF-8
    thats been broken in some way.
    You'll want to reload your JSON.php and then recode all your strings
    before sending them to JSON.

    In my testing i could send your string from javascript to php and
    back.

    And from PHP to js but i had to recode first like so:
    $returnData = array('word' => mb_convert_encoding('Français','UTF-8'),
    'suggestion' => array(mb_convert_encoding('Français','UTF-8'),
    mb_convert_encoding('caractères','UTF-8')));
            return $returnData;

It looks to me like its not escaping some of the unicode characters properly. The unicode escape sequence is \u followed by 4 characters so

    im not

sure what the second set of 4 does. For a test i added in the second \u and things seem to be ok: http://bluga.net/projects/HTML_AJAX/test.php There must be some bug in unicode escaping, I put in an

    untested fix

that should fix the problem as long as you have mbstring

    installed.

Just grab http://svn.bluga.net/HTML_AJAX/trunk/AJAX/JSON.php again. -josh Adi wrote:

The JSON code is actually from Services_JSON which hasn't had a

released

yet, there is an updated version that might fix this

    problem.  I'll

update the version in HTML_AJAX before the next release but

    that could

be a week or so. If you want to give the updated JSON code a try you can

    downloaded an

updated version from: http://svn.bluga.net/HTML_AJAX/trunk/AJAX/JSON.php

Just replace

    /data/www2/newFramework/lib/pear/HTML/AJAX/JSON.php with

the updated file. If that doesn't fix it let me know and

    will get
