Dear Sirs, i manganed to create an own "Store Locator" with Google Maps.
So far so good. I followed this guide: http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/maps/articles/phpsqlsearch.html everything was fine, until i started to enter addresses and names with Ü,Ä,ß in my sql database. suddenly i get this error messages while checking the phpsqlsearch_genxml.php: Warning: DOMElement::setAttribute() [domelement.setattribute]: string is not in UTF-8 in C:\xampp\htdocs\phpsqlsearch_genxml.php on line 46 Warning: DOMElement::setAttribute() [domelement.setattribute]: string is not in UTF-8 in C:\xampp\htdocs\phpsqlsearch_genxml.php on line 45 Line 45 = The line where it searches the name out of my sql database (e.g.ABC Shop Köln) Line 46 = The line where it searches the address in my sql database(e.g. Marktstraße) So what i know is that these "special caracters" are not given in the UTF 8 and so it can not read them, because the php and html is in UTF 8. (hope thats correct :) ) The problem is, i can not avoid it because for instance the word "street" in german ("Straße") already includes a "ß". In the guide mentioned above, it says that you could use an UTF8 encoder. I clicked on the link, but frankly i dont understand how to include this encoder in the php-context, so that it works again. Could you please help me? I really tried to find and google a soloution for hours already. But i cant really find a soloution for my special case. I am not that much into this programmer language, to be able, to adapt other UTF encoders (for instance from email problems) to my php file. Please if someone already had this problem or know how to solve it, help me.. I am sure there is an easy soloution, because in the guide its only mentioned with one or two phrases, but unfortunatly i just dont know how right now!
