Hi Dave,
I am guessing here, this sounds like on ei had a while back...
For some strange reason ISO needs to be in uppercase...
<cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="ISO-8859-1">
<cfset setEncoding("URL","ISO-8859-1")>
<cfset setEncoding("FORM","ISO-8859-1")>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
I hope this helps...
L.

Subject: [ cf-dev ] Encoding strangeness in MX6.1
Hi,
I know that MX is now Unicode and as such text is encoded as UTF-8 by
default but can anyone explain this:
I am using fusebox so all calls go via index.cfm.
In my index.cfm I am using the following to change the encoding to iso8859-1
<cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="iso-8859-1">
<cfset setEncoding("URL","iso-8859-1")>
<cfset setEncoding("FORM","iso-8859-1")>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
Then I have a query which grabs some text from the db and I then output
that so I get things like the following:
Trading Faces presents ?Creaking Shadows?
Which should read:
Trading Faces presents "Creaking Shadows"
When I look at the db I can see that the punctuation is correct yet the
output is always incorrect no matter what encoding I set.
Where am I going wrong or what have I missed. The db is MySQL 4 on Linux
and the fields are varchar.
Cheers
Dave
