Re: [fw-general] Unable to show latin characters using zend framework

[Baptiste Placé]

Hi prado, Which encoding are you using for your project ? You may force encoding in firefox (display > encoding) to be sure of it. Then you can use this in your .htaccess file (replace UTF-8 by whatever encoding you use) : AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 Baptiste. prado a écrit : My message below might sound confusing where it says "to &eacute;" and "into to &eacute;" on the last line, bcos the forum is encoding, it should say something like ampersand-eacute-; i hope you got that right. cheers prado wrote: My guess was maybe the escape function is causing those characters to display incorrectly, then i tried without the escape, still � appears for characters like é but this time it didn't happen for ', then i changed é to &eacute; in the data, it displayed correctly. Now this is all without the escape. now i know having escape is all about XSS, seems i might need to create my own helper for this. Any ideas how should i approach with this? what kind of helper should i create? Is it possible to display é as é instead of encoding into &eacute; ? jasonistaken wrote: Yes, but did you try: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> ??

What is surprising that these characters work fine with normal PHP scripting, procedural or OOPs style. This problem only propped up when i started using Zend framework, now i am using escape method before i display the data, is there any other method that i may use for parsing these characters correctly? --   baptiste placé   06.21.80.24.58   bplace.utopiaweb   b.pl...@utopiaweb.fr   utopiaweb   09.500.350.30   09.550.350.30   www.utopiaweb.fr
