Hi everyone,
I have quite a problem with a COM-Object in PHP.
Following Situation:
I have a COM-Object that connects to a UNICODE-encoded database, reads
certain texts and returns them to PHP, where I process the text and send
it back to the database via the COM-Object.
Unfortunately I have to use the COM-Object and can not connect directly
to the database.
My problem is now, that there seems to be an encoding-problem between
the COM-Object and PHP. For example I have a letter that looks like an
"i", only without the dot above it. When I read a text containing this
letter from the COM-Object, I get that letter returned as a normal "i".
I have tried different internal encodings in PHP, but with no effect.
When I read the original file with these letters from the filesystem,
PHP handles it perfectly, also in the database the letters are correct.
It can't be a problem between the COM-Object and the database, because
when I do the same thing using C# it comes out as it's expected, but
somehow I have to get it working in PHP.
Does anyone of you know that kind of problem and maybe a solution to it?
Greetings
Calle

Hi everyone,
I have quite a problem using a COM-Object in PHP.
The COM-Object connects to a database that's UTF-16 encoded and gets
text-contents, that I want to process in PHP and write it back using the
COM-Object. Unfortunately I cannot connect directly to the database, I
have to use that COM-Object.
My problem is now, that there seems to be some encoding-problem between
the COM-Object and PHP. For example I have a character that looks like
an "i" but without the dot. When I read it via the COM-Object, it
returns it as a normal "i". I also tried different internal encodings in
PHP, but with no effect.
When I read the file directly from the filesystem the characters are
fine, just as in the file. Also in the database the characters are as
they have to be.
Does anyone of you know that kind of problems with PHP and COM-Objects
and maybe a way to solve it?
Greetings
