parse special chars in forms

Post by dancer »

hi ppl!

i use a form for username and pass, that submits to a php-script that checks the username/pass against a windows nt domain server.

this works fine for a year now.. but now: a user got the idea to use € (euro-symbol) in his password.. the symbol seem to get lost on the way from the form to the script.. if i echo the $password in the script, it displays nothing.. and the logon fails

any idea what i may do to fix that?

running apache/php on linux

kind regards, andy
