[PHP] 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

Re: [PHP] French characters
Thanks. For the database, there are many UTF8 collations. Is this the
recommended one?
UTF8_unicode-ci?

I find the easiest way to check the actual charset that the browser thinks you are using is to open up firefox and go to: Tools - Page Info There you will see the charset type that the browser has found. From what you've shown, either your displaying iso-8859-1 in a UTF-8 context or UTF-8 characters in a iso-8859-1 context. Don't forget to check the following setting in your php.ini: default_charset Personally, I try to use UTF-8 for everything these days since iso-8859-1 is inferior to UTF-8. I would say the Internet at large is moving in this direction... though it still boggles my mind how well Microsoft buggers this up in IE (stuff like displaying a UTF-8 page but completely kludging a download filename which it expects in latin1 despite the presence of the content type -- or having a mailto URL in a UTF-8 context which pops open the Outlook mail client using latin1 assumption for the pre-populated subject line).

to decode the string

You may use UTF-8 both in your code and database. It is used more
commonly.
(almost seems to become a encoding standart)

Subject: [PHP] 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

Before the update: Pas de description d�taill�e After the update:Pas de description détaillée It is an encoding problem. My Thunderbird is set to use UTF-8 by default so the first line (Before the update:) does not display the sentence properly. It contains ? marks where the French character should be. The second line on the other hand displays the way it should be (AFAIK remember from school :) . So change your html encoding to utf-8 and it should work meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=utf-8 / Also ensure that your tables are utf8 and the mysql connection talks utf8 by adding running the query SET NAMES 'utf8' after creating the connection. Like so: $conn = mysql_connect($server,$username,$password); mysql_query(SET NAMES 'utf8', $conn); mysql_select_db($database, $conn) This page has a few pointers about switching a MySQL database to UTF-8.

No, that's what kind of content the server is willing to accept from various sources such as POST. Er, no, that's what kind of content the browser is prepared to accept back from the server -- the headers starting from the GET line are what the browser sends to the server as part of the request. The lines starting at the HTTP/1.x line are what the server returns. In this case, you're getting a 304 Not Modified, which means the server is not even serving any content on this request, nor, probably, even a full set of headers -- it's just telling the browser it can use its cached page. To be absolutely sure what the relevant headers are, you need to force the server to send the full page -- usually, the best way to do this is to hold down the Ctrl key whilst clicking the Refresh/Reload button. Incidentally, I notice that what's being served here is a .html page, and the presence of a 304 response, and no PHP headers, suggests it actually is plain HTML, and not a disguised script, so this whole thread is really very OT...!! ;) However, this being the case, it suggests you have a static .html file on your site claiming to be charset=utf-8, but not saved in UTF-8! There are two obvious ways to solve this: (i) convert the file into UTF-8, or (ii) edit it to have the correct charset= value in the tag. -- Mike, thanks very much I have done a ctrl+F5 And have the following: -- http://fr.x.com/student/themes/english/locker_room/student.html GET /student/themes/english/locker_room/student.html HTTP/1.1 Host: fr.x.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14 Accept: image/png,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 300 Connection: keep-alive Referer: http://fr.xx.com/student/themes/english/locker_room/student.html Cookie: PHPSESSID=5d5af707c9c34205d30708326872ad27 Pragma: no-cache Cache-Control: no-cache HTTP/1.x 200 OK Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2008 08:34:10 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.55 (Unix) PHP/5.1.2 Last-Modified: Sat, 17 Nov 2007 11:40:26 GMT Etag: 6b97e-a9d-619b9e80 Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 2717 Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=198 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/html I can now see that the response is a 200 OK response.

When you refer to charset are you referring to: iso-8859-1 or UTF-8? (iii) Also would I need to send the PHP headers as follows: header( 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' ); (iv) Also does the fact that there is no DOCTYPE declaration have any impact on the showing of the French characters?

[PHP] FRench characters not displayed correctly
Hi all. We have taken over a site and a problem we have is that French special characters aren't displaying correctly, they are displaying a weird square block. I have checked the content type and it's as follows: meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html;charset=utf-8 I also notice that the charset=iso-8859-1 is missing in the above meta tag, could this be affecting the characters? I have seen that there is no DOCTYPE declaration, could this be the problem if this is omitted? If you have any suggestions, please let me know. TIA.

You certainly wouldn't want both utf-8 and iso-8859-1 declared at the same time. It sounds like what you want is iso-8859-1 and NOT utf-8. Check the encoding of either your files or your database content. Also check what headers PHP is sending to the browser. If you're using Firefox you can check the page info to see what charset it thinks it received.

Neither will affect the character set used when rendering the page. The meta http-equiv=Content-Type in a page is ignored by the browser if an http header with a Content-Type has already been sent. If you bring up the page in Firefox, and hit Ctrl-I, I'll bet it says the page is being displayed in ISO-8859-1 (well, not UTF8 at least). I would check the default_charset setting in php.ini. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You want the following somewhere near the beginning of your script: ?php header( 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' ); ? Cheers, Rob. - Thanks again, but as far as I have read, it seems that UTF-8 has better handling for French characters? We have the following in our HTML page: meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html;charset=utf-8 Would the header not conflict with this meta tag? You can't just change the header or meta tags and expect things to work. The header must match the type of content you have. The point of th eheader is to tell the browser what all those multi-byte sequences mean. If you want to change to UTF-8 and your data is in ISO-8859-1 then you need to convert the content from one type to the other (I usually use iconv on the command-line). Until you do so, you should set your header to whatever content type you have... I'm guessing ISO-8859-1 but maybe you have UTF-8.

Not really - I'm pretty certain ISO-8859-1 will cover all of the special french characters. But it's irrelevant - if your code/pages are written in UTF8, you won't get the desired result if you serve them as ISO-8859-1. We have the following in our HTML page: meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html;charset=utf-8 Would the header not conflict with this meta tag? No, your header didn't have a Content-Type listed, so I think your meta-tag should work. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I think that is better done with the default_charset setting in php.ini. I don't. But then I have several projects and some use utf-8 (preferred) and some use iso-8859-1 (not preferred).

No, that's what kind of content the server is willing to accept from various sources such as POST. Er, no, that's what kind of content the browser is prepared to accept back from the server -- the headers starting from the GET line are what the browser sends to the server as part of the request. The lines starting at the HTTP/1.x line are what the server returns. In this case, you're getting a 304 Not Modified, which means the server is not even serving any content on this request, nor, probably, even a full set of headers -- it's just telling the browser it can use its cached page. To be absolutely sure what the relevant headers are, you need to force the server to send the full page -- usually, the best way to do this is to hold down the Ctrl key whilst clicking the Refresh/Reload button. Incidentally, I notice that what's being served here is a .html page, and the presence of a 304 response, and no PHP headers, suggests it actually is plain HTML, and not a disguised script, so this whole thread is really very OT...!! ;) However, this being the case, it suggests you have a static .html file on your site claiming to be charset=utf-8, but not saved in UTF-8! There are two obvious ways to solve this: (i) convert the file into UTF-8, or (ii) edit it to have the correct charset= value in the tag.

Good catch, I must have crossed wires somewhere in my head and thought about the accept-charset attribute for forms which *is* what the server is willing to accept when processing the form.
