Hello everyone I've written a script to push data from one of our in house calendar web applications into a google calendar.
The problem I'm having is this. The mysql database hosting the data is utf8 formatted, and all data in there conforms to the utf8 standard. I'm currently encoding the entries like so. require 'htmlentities' coder = HTMLEntities.new texttopasstogooglecal = coder.encode(texttopasstogoogle) Text to pass to Google is coming from a mysql query of the database. The problem arrives when it tries to pass certain characters, ie, the special(oh so special) opening single quote pasted in from and MS word document. There are other characters as well, I've had some fun with this problem before in a slightly different guise. Has anyone else run into this problem? Any help, greatly appreciated. As always I'll post my findings back into this post for posterity. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Calendar Data API" group.
