1) Make sure that the MySQL server and your database and all tables

2) Make sure that the MySQL connection from CAKE is configured for
UTF-8 encoding. I do this in an overriden constructor in
app/app_model.php:
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this-execute(SET NAMES 'UTF8');
}
- I got this from an earlier discussion in this group I think. It made
the real difference for me.
3) Set the encoding for all your views as UTF-8 using the PHP header
command. At the moment I do this right at the top of my layouts - it
needs to go in somewhere before anything else is rendered:
?php header(Content-type: text/html;charset=UTF-8); ?
4) Set the charset in HTML using the HTMLHelper although I don't think
this is so important:
?php echo $html-charset('utf-8')?
5) Make sure all your .php and .thtml files are UTF-8 encoded. Eclipse
and JEdit both do this fine and consistently.
- str_replace seems to work for me if I do all that (in PHP4) - I don't
use the multibyte functions.

Re: Special characters from the model and str_replace()
I've had frustrating encoding problems in PHP before, some still
persisting on my site because I could not fully resolve them. Your
post here is extremely helpful! I was not aware of all those setup
options.
The encoding problems in PHP have, of course, been widely excoriated.
From your post it seems that adequate documentation could make a big
difference.
Could you try posting that on the PHP web site?
Thanks again.

Re: Special characters from the model and str_replace()
Now the phenomenon gets clearer, i am still in clueless state, though.
Getting data in a regular fashion from models to the views via the
$this-set('var', $this-Post-findAll(null,null,'Post.created DESC'));
seems to work.
But if i want to display stuff within a view from other models encoding
seems to get treated differently. The two cases that i am stumbling
about right now are components/elements and associated models - in my
case a tag model via hasAndBelongsToMany. Umlaut-characters are shown
screwed up.
Does anybody has any insight where the difference might lie? Thanks
again.

Re: Special characters from the model and str_replace()
Okay. Finally, i got it. My speculation from the last post are way off. The problems occurred when i used html-link() without disabling html-encoding/escaping. Adding false as the 5th parameter everytime solves all my special character problems.

Re: Special characters from the model and str_replace()
So now I have to admint I haven't been reading this thread at all, and I have no experience with this particular problem. But when I was helping someone track down some problems with jpGraph and cake. we were having problems with encoding of the resulting image. It turned out that a couple of the files had BOM settings that were differenet then what we were trying to output and it was getting cakephp/ php and apache all confused. After stripping BOMs from all the files we had better luck

Special characters from the model and str_replace()
Good afternoon everbody, i have some troubles turning special characters into clean characters to use for a slug (read: clean url string). I am running a str_replace() over the data that i receive from the model, yet it seams that special characters (such as öäü...) are encoded in something special, so that str_replace() won't work. $title = $entry['Post']['title']; $title = strtolower($title); $umlaute = array (ü, ö, ä, ß); $replace = array (ue, oe, ae, ss); $title = str_replace($umlaute, $replace, $title); $title = preg_replace(/\W/, , $title); $entry['Post']['slug'] = $title; Any hints how i could turn de-code them from the model?

Re: Special characters from the model and str_replace()
@John: Yes, i can and it works technically, as the created slug works as expected. Yet esthetically this is not that nice: posts/view/%DCberschrift In German - and i think this counts for other languages - there are replacements for special characters. As indicated in the code above. Therefore it would be nice if i actually could access (find and replace) the special characters that are entered in the form. @Chris: could you be a bit more specific. I guess i have no clue what multibyte string manipulation means. Does anybody know how data is encoded before saved via the model in the database and how this could be decoded to access as described above?

Re: Special characters from the model and str_replace()
Okay i got it working now. The result coming from the model/database is encoded as something different then UTF-8. Therefore utf8_encode() will do the job. The thing is i am a bit confused now. The pages rendered by cake are not UTF-8 but seem to be something like ISO-8859-1. I would like to go all UTF-8. How can i do this? Is there a setting to fetch the data from the model in UTF-8? Is there anything to read and learn in regard to encoding and cake? Thanks guys for pointing me in the right direction. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.
