Ah, if were only that simple but, alas, it is not. I have opened other
documents that contain these special characters and BBEdit has
displayed them properly.

You are not loosing them, only bbedit does not display them in the
original charset. Look in the bbedit menu or configuration if you can
find some character encoding setting

I'm having trouble with writing special charcaters to a text file.
The characters are your run-of-the-mill accented characters. Passing
them back and forth in the database and displaying them on screen is
NOT a problem.
code snippet:
$row = mysql_fetch_array($query_result, MYSQL_ASSOC);
foreach ($exportOrder as $key => $value) { // makes tab-delimited
file from array
if (array_key_exists($key, $row)) {
$bigString .= $row[$key] . "\t";
} else {
$bigString .= "\t";
}
}
print $bigString;
$filename = "../../../Volumes/FILEJOB/DB Art IN/" .
$row['currentSVVersion'];
if (!$file = fopen($filename, 'w+')) {
print "Cannot open file ($filename)";
exit;
}
fwrite($file, $bigString);
fclose($file);
I print the string immediately before I write the file. It looks like
this (i hope this formats correctly for the list):
INGRÉDIENTS : VINAIGRE, EAU, GRAINES DE MOUTARDE, SEL, CURCUMA,
ÉPICES À Â Æ Ç È É Ê Ë Î Ï Ô Û Ü Œ
I write the file, open it up in BBEdit (or your favorite text editor)
and it looks like this:
INGR…DIENTS : VINAIGRE, EAU, GRAINES DE MOUTARDE, SEL, CURCUMA,
…PICES ¿ ¬ ? « » … À †Œ œ ‘ € ‹ å
Why would I lose those special characters when writing to a text
file? How can I avoid this? The text file will be opened offline, so
using É and other character entities won't work.
I've tried:
- $file = fopen($filename, 'w+b'); adding binary flag doesn't affect
anything
- Iooking at php.ini; nothing stood out
Any suggestions? [Mac OSX 10.3.6 : PHP 4.3.2 : MySQL 4.0.18 : Apache
