Hi All, My client has a database (Sybase) in which a table column URL contains a string like- http://www.pjonline.com/cpd/nutrition_ _drugnutrient_interactions The box like un-recognized character is emdash. I need to display the data on the web lets say in a HTML page where box should be decoded somehow to be displayed as emdash. We cant change anything in the dataabse as such. So anything we need to do has to be done on the fly. I have tried using online tool like http://2cyr.com/decode/ which just converts the string to a best match decoded string and also displays box as emdash!! This means we can do something in PHP to convert the box to emdash somehow. Is there any possibility in php to convert to real emdash? I have alreasy tried urldecode, mb_convert_encoding etc. Also the interesting thing is that "http://2cyr.com/decode/"; website says that the string is of encoding hp-roman8! I want the string to look like- http://www.pjonline.com/cpd/nutrition_-- _prescribing_parenteral_nutrition.html Any help? Thanks, Gaurav Kumar
Gaurav: When you encounter the emdash, used — to display it in html. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
