I had the same problem recently. I was using UTF-8 everywhere, but still got empty input fields. The solution was to enforce PHP's internal encoding to UTF-8 via some .htaccess (or Apache config) settings.

Hope this works for you as well. - Nejra On Jul 22, 8:29 pm, Xoubaman <[email protected]> wrote: > Not a charset problem, 99% confirmed. > > I try the following code to figure out what's happening: > > <?php > debug($this->data['Profile']['last_name']); > echo $form->text('Profile.last_name',array('label' => false)); > ?> > <input id="ProfileLastName" type="text" value="<?php echo $this->data > ['Profile']['last_name']; ?>" label="" name="data[Profile][last_name]"/ > > > > One text input using theformhelper and another one typing it > "classically".
