This doesn't not seem to be having an affect as the French characters are still written scrambled.

It is used more commonly. (almost seems to become a encoding standart) -----Original Message----- From: Don [mailto:don@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, October 19, 2009 4:08 PM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: French characters I am using the following code: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> "Mert Oztekin" <moztekin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:E2C046087E10D943811A0BD0A4E8316D1BD2E81C0E@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx What about browsers encoding? And also, does your html code has a header about character-encoding in french -----Original Message----- From: Don [mailto:don@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, October 19, 2009 3:58 PM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: French characters Hi, I use PHP to read data form a mysql 5 table. allow the user to edit the data and then update the table. I am having trouble with French characters. Before the update: Pas de description détaillée After the update: Pas de description détaillée When I read from the table I wrap the data in the following: // Stripslashes if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $value = stripslashes($value); } // Convert all applicable characters to HTML entities $value = htmlentities($value,ENT_COMPAT); When I update to the table, I wrap in the following: // Addslashes if (!(get_magic_quotes_gpc())) { $value = addslashes($value); } // Quote if not a number or a numeric string if (!is_numeric($value)) { $value = @mysql_real_escape_string($value); } I've tried playing with character sets to no avail. There mst be a solution, Thanks Don -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php ________________________________ Bu mesaj ve ekleri, mesajda gönderildiði belirtilen kiþi/kiþilere özeldir ve gizlidir.
