Fw: AW: Problem with accents

I found a simpler solution to my charset problem:

- removed the mysql_query("SET NAMES ...") command from my php code 
because the database's default character set is latin1
- removed <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; 
charset=..."> from the php code because the server's default charset is 
iso-8859-1 alias latin1
- left the default LocalCharset and BrowserCharset variable values 
(iso-8859-1) untouched in search.htm

My charset problem was due to the fact that I forced both the database's 
and the browser page's charsets to utf8.

Marco,

I replaced

LocalCharset   iso-8859-1
BrowserCharset iso-8859-1

by 

LocalCharset   utf-8
BrowserCharset utf-8

in search.htm

and that solved my problem (ie, accented words not being displayed 
correctly in search.htm).

Many thanks for your help.

Best regards,

Philippe

Hi,

I use UTF-8 in both my page 

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

and my database

mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");

My server serves iso-8859-1 characters by default.

Hi,
did you try to switch codepage within your Browser to UTF-8 / different 
settings?
In Firefox there are multiple options. 
In my case i had an iso-8859-1 statement within on headerfiles.
Is your http server serving utf-8 codepage per default?
 
Regards
Max

Betreff: Problem with accents


Hello, 

the php script I am currently working on contains the following code 

while ( $bdict_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($bdict_result_id) ) 
{ 
        $the_word = $bdict_row['word']; 
        $href = "<a href=\"/mnogosearch/search.cgi?q=" 
                . rawurlencode($the_word) 
                . "\" target=\"_blank\">" 
                . $the_word . "</a>"; 

        .... 

        echo "<td\">$href</td></tr>\n<tr>"; 

        ... 


This code displays all words in the mnogosearch bdict table, as 
hyperlinks, on a web page. 

Whenever a hyperlinked word contains accented characters (eg, 
"bérangère"), the data which are passed to the search.cgi are invalid. 

For instance, let's say I click the "bérangère" hyperlink. As a result, 
the input field in the search.cgi form will contain the following value: 

 bérangère 

which is wrong. The value should be "bérangère". 

Thanks in advance for your help. 

Philippe 


PS I use the utf-8 charset in my database and on my webpage.
