John, Thanks for the help. I see the errors in the mysql database using query browser and I also see the error in outlook and gmail when the results are emailed.
I basically keep all the results in an array. I then loop through the array and do mysql_real_escape_string(). I tried nesting the utf8_encode function and the htmlspecialchars function into the escape function like so: mysql_real_escape_string(utf8_encode($array['item'])); or mysql_real_escape_string(htmlspecialchars($array['item'])); On Mar 21, 3:41 pm, John Andersen <j.andersen...@gmail.com> wrote: > That is fine, so the problem is not in the html! > > In what way are you looking at the data and seeing the erroneous > representation (in another page, using a tool or what)? > > How are you processing your data before saving them in the database? > And when you are retrieving them from the database? > And before presenting the data in html? > > Enjoy, > John > > On Mar 21, 9:28 pm, blckspder <blcksp...@gmail.com> wrote:> I setting it to > utf in the meta tag > > > <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> > > [snip] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
