Re: strtolower utf-8 char problem
Hello,
Thanks for your interest Felix.
As you said encoding and decoding the characters in UTF-8 does not
solve the problem. Also, charset and header issues don't solve it
alone. Furthermore, multibyte string methods works well for utf-8
encoding. Since my database is setted to UTF-8, it looks like working
well for now both inputs and outputs.
Regards,
bt

Re: strtolower utf-8 char problem
Hi,
UTF-8 supports Umlaute laut "äüö" and french notations like "ç". I
know that for sure.
I investigated on the problem, and in order to make sure we are on the
same page, this is how my test setup looked like:
- The PHP document I used to test was UTF-8 encoded
- The html document that was served by the php document was treated as
UTF-8 by the browser
Then I typed in and got the same
results as you. However something like this worked: . The best, and
probably propper solution for the problem I came across was this:
.
I think this behavior makes total sense given that the normal php
string functions can't deal with utf8 characters. Now the reason it
worked with your non-php document was probably been that it has been
treated as you OS native ISO entirely (php document, and web document).
When working with UTF-8 in CakePHP you should always pay attention to
the following things:
1. All PHP documents you use Umlaute, or other utf8 characters in must
be encoded UTF-8 themselves
2. The html document must be served as utf-8.
3. The database connection needs to be UTF-8.
For number #2 put this line on top of your layout view (i.e.
default.thtml):
And this in your section:
charset('UTF-8'); ?>
To ensure #3 is working, use this code in your AppModel:
class AppModel extends Model
{
function __construct($id = null, $table = null, $ds = null)
{
parent::__construct($id, $table, $ds);
if (!defined('MYSQL_SET_NAMES_UTF8') &&
$this->useTable!==false)
{
@$this->execute("SET NAMES 'UTF8'");
define('MYSQL_SET_NAMES_UTF8', true);
}
}
}
Good luck and let me know how things are working out.
Best Regards,
Felix Geisendörfer

Re: strtolower utf-8 char problem
No thanks, my problem is not related with php. I said that function works properly in php files outside the cakephp framework however it doesn't work in cakephp framework. The problem is directly related to cakephp encoding issues. Though I have tried some charset issues but didn't work. Do you have any suggestions? or has anyone came across with the same problem on utf8 encoding? Thanks. On Oct 29, 11:56 pm, "Ismael S.

Re: strtolower utf-8 char problem
I think your problem is with php details, you should try to solve this problem in specific php language, i believe you will find the solution quickly. http://groups.google.com/group/Professional-PHP?lnk=li --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

strtolower utf-8 char problem
Hi all, strtolower() function does not work properly in my cakephp applications however it works other standalone php files in the same server. When I try to change a character to lowercase, some special chars replaces with question marks. I tried both setting & printing out in view file and setting in controller file & printing in view file. it prints ??? however it should be üüü. it works outside of the cakephp. What can be the problem? I searched but couldn't find the exact solution. Thanks, --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
