Re: [PHP] Ftp upload
Dear Experts, Can you please advise how can I detect a string if it is UTF-8 or now and how can I if possible convert a string to a utf-8 ? Here's the string I got from client - client sends it via POST with urlencode and does apply UTF-8 encoding on the string. Here's the string I got: However I do not get the string as a utf-8 (After I do urldecode to the client POST parameter) Please advise Eli
[PHP] PHP to Java integration using : shell_exec function
Hi,
Please advise if the following is possible and how can pass parameters
from the PHP to the Java application.
Thanks.
Here's my script draft:
// The XML_toEnc
is a string and shall be urlencoded !
$EncXML = shell_exec(""/usr/bin/java/java -jar MyApp.jar -XML
<$XML_toEnc>); <<== ??? How can I pass parameters like a large string of
let say XML?
echo $EncXML; // back to the MObile Client
// Receiving client shall:
// urldecode the string
?>

Caching can be done in PHP (a lot of frameworks contain rudimentary caching functionality) or by Apache itself, so there are a few places you can check. To test for caching, have the client-side part of the request add a random suffix like ?t=timestamp so that the server thinks this request is unique.

The main reason being is that it is often the case that the BOM appears in the source code file before the http://docs.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php#102431, http://docs.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php#95864, etc. Now. Having said all of that, you may find you are using some sort of output buffering and that is setting the BOM after the headers are sent. But, as it stands, PHP will not be generating the BOM for you. -- Richard Quadling Twitter : EE : Zend @RQuadling : e-e.com/M_248814.html : bit.ly/9O8vFY -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Eliminatimg PHP UTF-8 BOM in a returned stream to a Mobile App
Dear PHP Gurus, I would like to Eliminate the 3 UTF-8 BOM enforced on my returned BLOB: The PHP server adds utf-8 BOM (UTF-8 Byte Order Mark - in the beginning of UTF-8 files) which consists of three bytes: EF BB BF. The Mobile App served by the server Does not need that. How can I eliminate it?? Thanks.
