Darren,
The Content-Type is set to *text/html; charset=utf-8*.
Though the way I have done is
/*ns_set put [ns_conn outputheaders] "Content-Type" "text/html;
charset=utf-8"
*/I tried the meta tag equivalent too but no luck!

I had similar issues and in the head component of my adp being
generated i had to add the following:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
Once that was added the pages were rendered correctly.
Respectfully,
Darren Ferguson

Bas,
Apologies for the delayed response!
Our setup is a complex set of components with a java component
inserting records
and tcl based RESTful service fetching the records back.
I have isolated this issue to a tcl script and am sending this out
to replicate the issue
1. My MySQL version is 5.1.22
2. create a table
/*CREATE TABLE multibytetest (value VARCHAR(255)
CHARACTER SET utf8)*/
3. Copy the adp in your aolserver installation
and run it. You will need to make a modification to change the
database name
The adp present you with a HTML form to let you set a string which
is inserted into the multibytetest table
using SQL
/* INSERT INTO multibytetest (value) VALUES (_utf8'$value')*/
The idea to quote it in _utf8 is from this blog from dossy
<http://dossy.org/archives/000218.html>
I am using the MySQL query browser to see if the character inserted
into db is correct or not. The chinese characters gets inserted fine.
The adp also retrieves the same value back and renders it on the
HTML page along with the tcl string which was inserted.
The Content-Type is set to "text/html; charset=utf-8" as well as adp
mimetype.
Yet the record fetched back does not get rendered on browser correctly.
Here is a screenshot of a testrun
Screenshot of test run
Any ideas why I am not able to get the multibyte record correctly?
Couple of points :-
1. The records gets rendered fine if the column type is BLOB instead
of VARCHAR. But I dont think we should need to convert the datatype
of table in order to store multibyte characters .Java is able to
insert and fetch the records correctly
2. If the INSERT sql is modifed to simple
/* INSERT INTO multibytetest (value) VALUES ('$value')*/
both 'Inserted value' and 'Value retrieved from database' is
rendered correctly but the record inserted in mysql is not correct.
This is verified by viewing the record in mysql query browser as
well as fetching it from a java program
Hoping to get any pointers here--

Some questions to help us, and maybe give you some hints as to
what might be wrong.
How did you determine the fact that the value isn't a correct Tcl
string?
What encoding is the database in? (UTF-8?) Are you 100% sure the
data in the database is actually correct?
I wouldn't think you would need to convert anything. Tcl uses
UTF-8 internally. A string from the database should be nothing
more than an array of bytes and when a Tcl string is created, it
is assumed these bytes are UTF-8.
Did you specify the correct encoding in either the server headers
(preferred) or html tags? Unless you do that, the browser won't
know what character set it should use.

Bas.

Hi all,
We have an existing Tcl service which provides the data from
mysql to clients as an HTML table.
We have some records in mysql with multibye characters which are
not being rendered correctly.
Simple ns_db getrow does not return me the correctly encoded data
form database.
I have the sample code snippet to replicate this
set db [ns_db gethandle]
set sql1 "use mydb";
ns_db exec $db $sql1;
set row [ns_db select $db "select title from channel"]
set numcols [ns_set size $row]
while {[ns_db getrow $db $row]} {
for {set i 0} {$i < $numcols} {incr i} {
ns_puts " :[ns_set value $row $i]"
}
ns_puts "<br>" }
I understand that I need to specify the encoding to get the
correct tcl strings in ns_set but cannot find the way to do so.
Any pointers?
Thanks in advance--
