PHP - Utf-8 Charset Is Replacing Special Chars With Boxes?? Please Help!
Similar TutorialsHi, I'm looking for a bit of help. I have a record in a MSSQL. I'm using PHP to pull that record. In the record there are the funky square characters for chr(13) and chr(10). In PHP they are totally ignored which means that the record appears on one line. I have tried replacing these with various a numerous characters but no joy. Things like Code: [Select] str_replace(' ', '<br/>', $notes); and Code: [Select] str_replace(chr(10), " ", $notes); Please help Code: [Select] <?php $fspec = base64_decode($_GET['q']); if (isset($_POST['content'])) { if (!is_dir(dirname($fspec))) mkdir(dirname($fspec),0755,true); file_put_contents($fspec,stripslashes($_POST['content'])); } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Edit template</title> <style type="text/css"> body { background-color:#fff; font-family:arial,verdana; font-size:10pt; } </style> </head> <body> <div style="background-color:#fff;"> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"].'?q='.base64_encode($fspec); ?>" method="post"> <div><textarea id="markItUp" rows="20" cols="80" name="content"><?php include $fspec; ?></textarea></div> <div> <input type="submit" value="Save" /> <a href="javascript:window.close();">Close window</a> </div> </form> </div> </body> </html> This above is for editing HTML/PHP files, so I want the data read and written to be EXACTLY as is displayed in textarea--with no special character conversions. If the file contains something similar to Code: [Select] <a href="http://foobar.com/index.php?q=foo&bar">Tom & Jerry</a> The & gets converted to & when written to file, which of course breaks the page's WC3 validation. Is it getting converted when passed via POST? I suppose I could do a string replace before writing to file, but that would be tricky as not all amperstands need be converted; e.g., the "Tom & Jerry" above. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance. Hello everyone, how i can insert to the db string that include "$_GET['id']", and i need this as is. in the table i need to see the string $_GET['id'] and not the value. any ideas ? hey, i was wondering how i would make a preg match check for special characters, i would only like to allow an underscore _ and a dash - i'm currently using preg_match("/[^0-9]+$/",$getUser) but thats not working right I would like to allow special characters in my script like: ஆஇஊஎஐஓ But I don't want to allow HTML like: <b>bold</b> At first I was using htmlentities() when PRINTING OUT (NOT when or before inserting in the query) . Data shows up in MySQL as ᇋᇄᇝᇠᇤᇢᇦ And it was also printed out that way, I'd like to have it translated into it's actual form (ஆஇஊஎஐஓ), yet I don't want <b>bold</b> to be translated as well, I want it to stay <b>bold</b> Is there any way I can do this? I also tried htmlspecialchars() but that didn't do the trick either. If you need script examples let me know. EDIT: To bring it to the point, I want it to be just like in this forum post. The special chars are showing up, and the html is just being printed as <b></b>. I guys, i´m seting up a template from themeforest for a customer, and i got to change the charset of the pages, it seems that everything was working, but to my surprise the text inside the h1 tags did not accepted the latin caracters, i`ve tryed everything but they still not changed, can you give me a hand?
Hi How can I make the data in phpmyadmin accept Arabic Language. Now Arabic language shows as question markss ?????????????. Is there anyway to do this via php? I searched online and seen some complex c and c# code which I didn't understand much of. But how do I generate an array with all string combinations based on length and from a charset? E.g. charset = {'a', 'b', 'c'} Length = 2. Then it should generate first all 1-char strings: a b c Then all 2-char strings: aa ab ac ba bb bc ca cb cc And then all added to the same array. I think there's some way of doing it with recursion but to me it's like thinking with a 4th dimension my mind can't grasp this logic! I let my users to post what they would like as a text, today I noticed that I forgot disabling htlm chars, so they can even post textbox's htlm code and create a textbox in the posting section, Is there any way/function to prevent this ? Hi i've recently moved hosting servers as I had severe lag issues with my shared hosting. Since i've brought a dedicated linux server with apache and php. Since the move i get extra chars with the following code Code: [Select] <?PHP define( "MESSAGE", "Testing Testing 123" ); if(isset($_GET['message'])) { die(MESSAGE); } ?> My application SHOULD receive back "Testing Testing 123" like it used to with my old shared hosting. Instead now it receives the following: Code: [Select] 2f Testing Testing 123 0 And i cannot figure this out for the life of me. I'm expecting something silly to be the cause but would appreciate some guidance on this. Thanks Best method to for the following? Code: [Select] // The following $str1 and $str2 should say they are identical $str1 = "abcDEF"; $str2 = "EcFabD"; // The following $str1 and $str2 should say they are NOT identical because of the "a" "A" case difference. $str1 = "abcDEF"; $str2 = "EcFAbD"; I'm comparing bitvector strings. "ABC" is different than "abc". "abc" is the same as "cba". What's the best php function or method I should use? Thank you. |
