Hi
When I send a query parameter on a URL to Active4D of %A3 it does not
seem to come through correctly (i.e. a strange control character
arrives).
On the other hand, when I send %C2%A3 it does come through correctly
as a UK pound sign.
Can anyone help me out by explaining why the second form worked ? (I
don't know what I'm doing by adding the %C2 - I picked it up from a
piece of a PHP thread where another guy was having related problems).
i.e.
www.mysite.com?myvar=%A3 <-- fails
www.mysite.com?myvar=%C2%A3 <-- succeeds. The A4D script receives
a £ sign.
3 Things:
[1] Sorry for my ignorance on encoding - I'm trying to fill in some
total black holes in my knowledge
[2] I realise I could be using a far more robust value for the
variable data (i.e. low Ascii) and will do this presently but wouldn't
mind using this example to increase my understanding of what's
happening at a bits & bytes level
[3] I also realise that UTF-8 is the way forward and am in the process
of moving the whole site to UTF-8 but again, I think I'd like to
understand more of what's behind the issues I have at the moment
before I do that
Many thanks
Peter
