AdWords API Re: AdParam
Hi,
I just tried this using the PHP client library and it worked fine.
$adParam2 = new AdParam($adGroupId, $keywordId, '£40', 2);
My PHP file is saved as UTF-8, so the pound sign is automatically
being encoded correctly. If you are working in another encoding can
specify the unicode code point entity of the character and use the
html_entity_decode() method to convert it.
$adParam2 = new AdParam($adGroupId, $keywordId,
html_entity_decode('#x00A3;40', ENT_NOQUOTES, 'UTF-8'), 2);
Best,
- Eric

Well,
I'm trying to post using the php adwords api from Google.
When trying to post a £ sign i get the error:
xa3...' is not a valid utf-8 string
So, the only ones I can post is pound; or £.
But even then im not sure how they will come out when the advert is
displayed...

Just a thought.

Hi Andy,
I was able to send the unencoded pound sign successfully in my
request. Do you have the SOAP XML request and response that
demonstrates this problem?

Hi,
I am having trouble posting a GBP £ sign as the currency symbol for an
ad paramater.
If i try to send the HTML encoded character pound; i get a error
responce of:
operations[0].operand.insertionText; trigger:'pound;230',
If i try to send a non encoded £ sign i get the following:
SOAP-ERROR: Encoding: string '\xa3...' is not a valid utf-8 string in
The dollar sign posts ok, but im in the UK and its not too useful. ;-)
Is this a known problem or am i missing something here..?

AdWords API Re: AdParam Enhancement Request
I completely agree with joel. I was disappointed when I found out how AdParams really work. Setting adparam values on keywords instead of ads makes the whole process very difficult and NOT useful at all. I wish to set AdParam values per ad, that way I can use different AdParam values for different ads, now we cannot do it. The only advantage now is that different keywords can give different AdParam values to an ad, but frankly, can any AdWords engineer give me an example when this is useful? Unfortunatelly, the whole process now is very difficult to integrate into our system.

Since our AdGroups are already tightly-structured and contain similar keyword, I really just want the dynamic parameters to apply to all keywords in the AdGroup and to be able to set them by just specifying the Ad. It's significantly more complex to query for all Keywords in the AdGroup and construct additional parameter objects for each combination. Can you please relax this restriction and allow Parameters to be Ad- specific, with an optional override at the Keyword + Ad level?
