grigri,
Thanks for the prompt reply. Unfortunately, that didn't help me. My
core.php file already has the line
Configure::write('App.encoding', 'UTF-8');
and the MySQL tables for Cake are running a utf8_general collation...
the MySQL table collation isn't even an issue at this point, however,
as I'm still experiencing problems with this issue by simply coding
the extended ASCII characters inline (see below example reprinted from
original post)
$this->Form->input($datavalue, array('value'=>chr(105).chr(110).chr
(115).chr(130).chr(135)));
What's interested is, if I just print the following: <input type=text
value="<?php echo chr(105).chr(110).chr(115).chr(130).chr(135); ?>">,
it outputs completely fine. It's definitely an issue with the CakePHP
Form helper, and I initially thought it might be an encoding issue,
but I feel like I have everything set up correctly.
Am I missing something?
