PEAR - QuickForm - Charsets
Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2008 1:21 am
My script behaves very unusual. I have created a function to change Icelandic language characters to HTML encoding characters and it works normal on all the things I throw at it, except when I put PEAR->QuickForm->exportValues() data to it. Then it dosn't find the characters. And when i put them into my DB even stranger things happen.
Input to form => Á,
Data in webpage =>Á,
Data in DB => Ã
which isn't right it is suposed to be Á both on the web page and in the DB.
I think this has something to do whit charsets but I have been trying for over 7 ours just to fix this and have tried to search the web but I can't find anything about what this could be.
The function wich replaces Icelandic characters with HTML characters
