PHP - Utf Encoding, Accents And Such

Seem to be having a problem with json_encode.  My first time using this.  What I have is some php generated filenames that include their relative paths along with some attributes such as extension,width & height.  I have made a php array out of these with the filename string as the first level key and the attributes being an array under each of those keys.    An example: Array ( [/photos/mainmenu/Chateau_dAgassac] => Array ( [img] => jpg [caption] => txt [w] => 600 [h] => 400 ) [/photos/mainmenu/IMG_1358] => Array ( [img] => jpg [caption] => txt [w] => 600 [h] => 400 ) [/photos/mainmenu/IMG_1367] => Array ( [img] => jpg [caption] => txt [w] => 600 [h] => 400 ) )   I then did a json_encode of this array and assigned it to a JS variable and it looks like I want it to look in my js code when I view the source of the output page.  Except for one thing.  All the keys (filenames) have a backslash in front of all the forward slashes that are part of the path.  This complicates things when I try and take a filepath/name string from my html and use it to grab some attributes for that filename   An example of the js array: img_data = { "\/photos\/mainmenu\/Chateau_dAgassac":{"img":"jpg","caption":"txt","w":600,"h":400}, "\/photos\/mainmenu\/IMG_1358":{"img":"jpg","caption":"txt","w":600,"h":400}, "\/photos\/mainmenu\/IMG_1367":{"img":"jpg","caption":"txt","w":600,"h":400} }   This is literally how it looks in a view of the source code of my browser page.   What's the trick to accessing this js array now when I have a filename (href) in my html <img> tag that obviously no longer matches what I have in my js array?

Hi, here is my script to get the usernames of a few members. I'm trying to encode it using JSON. Code: [Select]
<?php
require("connect.php");


$date = date("Y-m-d");
$picarray = array();
        $handle = opendir ('pqimages/'.$date.'/');
        while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
            if($file != "." && $file != "..") {
$getusername = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE lastupload='pqimages/".$date."/".$file."'");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($getusername)){

$usernames= $row['username'];
$people = array();
$people[] = $usernames;

echo json_encode($people); 
 
}
            }


        }


?> the only problem is the output:["mumford"]["franzwarning"]["tetris"]
when it should be: ["mumford", "franzwarning", "tetris"]

any recommendations?
Thanks,
George

Hi, does anybody know why I get a question mark inside a diamond shape where a pound sign should be when i retrieve data from a mysql database? I have tried using latin1_general_ci and utf8_general_ci and they both do the same, don't know whether that is anything to do with it or not? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to write a zend restful api and am return a json result. Everything works excepts when I am encoding a very large string such as a article with multiple paragraphs. The result is null in this case.  Do I need to do something with the text before performing a json encode.

Code: [Select]
$this->getResponse()
            ->appendBody($this->_helper->json($article));

When a user clicks on a topic they are transfered to its post, which is retrieved by the name of the topic as given by the url value. up to now i have just used urlencode. But its trickier when a user adds slashes and dots into the mix. for example the title of the post is testing/testing. The url will go to www.asimpleforum.co.uk/t/testing/testing. How would i get around this since url encode doesnt do the job? I could replace slashes and dots with their own unique symbol but that produces the problem when someone uses one of those symbols that i use to replace in their topic title. I know one site in particular that replaces all dots and slashes with a hyphen (-), but how would you know what to turn the hyphen into when you query the database for that topic? Anyone have any ideas?

Hi, i would like to encode a url example.

$error="You must be signed in";
$enc=urlencode("http://localhost/finxed/asku/asked.php?error=$error");
header("LOCATION: $enc");

Could some one tell me what can i do to achieve my desired result. I want the header to take to the LOCATION, which is $enc but i wanted it to be encoded when displayed in the url field. The current code is not working.

Hi,
I haveof issues regarding encoding. in my old hosting server I had none.
To enforce the server to use utf-8. looks like the server use another encoding, so this is my htaccess file:

<FilesMatch "\.(htm|html|css|js)$">
 ForceType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8'
 </FilesMatch>
 <Files "default.php">
 ForceType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8'
 </Files>
 <Files "emailvalidate.php">
 ForceType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8'
 </Files>

 
When I try to execute emailvalidate.php I get a strange behaviour. here is the output:
connection($host,$user,$pass,$db); if((!isset($B1))and($flag=="0")) { // form auto submitted by List $event = $eventcompo; if($event=="ChooseEvent") { $msg="Please select an Event!

I'm trying to figure out how to add "\fs13" to the base64 encoding. For example, the "ad->text" field would look like this   <ad-content type="rtf">ZGZnIGRmZyBkZmcgZGZnIGRmZyBkZmcgZGZnIGRmZyBkZmcgZGZnIGRmZyBkZmcgZGZnIGQ=</ad-content>   The code to generate the above is -- <ad-content type=\"rtf\">".htmlentities(base64_encode($ad->text))."</ad-content>";   I need the encoding to include the "\fs13" in front of the encoded ad-content. The "\fs13" is simply a font size that will tell the system what font size to use.   <ad-content type="rtf">ZGZnIGRmZyBkZmcgZGZnIGRmZyBkZmcgZGZnIGRmZyBkZmcgZGZnIGRmZyBkZmcgZGZnIGQ=</ad-content>   I'm also trying to encode an additional field within the "ad-content type". The present code looks like this:   <ad-content type=\"rtf\">".htmlentities(base64_encode($ad->text))."</ad-content>";   I need to add "($ad->photo_file_name)" to the above, so that the "ad->text" and the "ad->photo_file_name" are within the ad-content type that is being decoded.

Hope that makes sense, appreciate ant help, Thanks!
 

Hi,

I am trying to get some charecters to display properly in emails that are sent via a form on my site.

The finnish characters &auml; and &ouml; come out as squares when viewed in Outlook. I have tried various encoding types such as UTF-8 and Western European (dreamweaver), both as the script encoding and as the encoding in the mail() function.



$body = 'S&auml;hk&ouml;posti:' ;

mail($salesEmail, "Call Back Request", $body, "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\r\nFrom: $salesEmail") ;


= 'S�hk�posti:' or just squares in Outlook.

I have also tried hard coding them as &auml; and &ouml; and the symbol literals to no effect.

Does anyone know what is causing this?
