[GData Protocol] Re: International special characters show up garbled with PHP / Zend
Fair enough, I suppose this could be a problem with the PHP client library, in which case you should file your test case to reproduce here: http://framework.zend.com/issues/ As an issue against Zend_Gdata.

I believe it is a question of the data protocol and would occur whether I was reading a Calendar, Blog, Contact, YouTube post, etc. I could be wrong ... perhaps I should mock up an example in something other than calendar. The test: create any content in Google data containing the French character œ (or anything else in the ISO-8859-15 and not in 8859-1) and echo that content to the browser using PHP / Zend.

[GData Protocol] Re: International special characters show up garbled with PHP / Zend
Ah, it seems I have to use utf8_decode(). Is that correct?
For example, I updated the outputCalendar() function found in the
developer's guide / getting started (http://code.google.com/apis/
calendar/docs/1.0/developers_guide_php.html) to print the $event-
title-text with utf8_decode();
Does this look like how I should get decoded data back out of Google
to stuff into my database? That certainly seems to work when printing
to the browser.
Thanks,
Bill

function outputCalendar($client)

$gdataCal = new Zend_Gdata_Calendar($client);
$eventFeed = $gdataCal-getCalendarEventFeed();
echo ul\n;
foreach ($eventFeed as $event) {
echo \tli . utf8_decode($event-title-text) . ( . $event-
id-text . )\n;
echo \t\tul\n;
foreach ($event-when as $when) {
echo \t\t\tliStarts: . $when-startTime . /li\n;
}
echo \t\t/ul\n;
echo \t/li\n;
}
echo /ul\n;
}
outputCalendar($client);

Hmm, but utf8_decode() only handles ISO_8859-1 which doesn't include
some French and Dutch characters. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
ISO_8859-1) Perhaps I can use iconv with ISO-8859-15?
---
If I create an event called Test: Œ, œ, Ÿ, Š, š, Ž, ž, everything is
fine on the web site, google accepts it, renders it just fine.
If I then update my outputCalendar() function to use iconv('UTF-8',
'ISO-8859-15', $event-title-text), then I get the following event
title:
Test: ¼, ½, ¾, ¦, ¨, ´,
Thank you,
Bill
