Hi Mike,
it's most probably the font you're using that does not have support for the
EUR symbol. I tested the following on my box, and it displays fine:
<?php
function unichr($hex)
{
$utf = '';
$hex = hexdec((substr($hex, 0,2) === '\\u') ? substr($hex, 2) :
$hex);
if ($hex < 128) {
$utf = chr($hex);
} elseif ($hex < 2048) {
$utf .= chr(192 + (($hex - ($hex % 64)) / 64));
$utf .= chr(128 + ($hex % 64));
} else {
$utf .= chr(224 + (($hex - ($hex % 4096)) / 4096));
$utf .= chr(128 + ((($hex % 4096) - ($hex % 64)) / 64));
$utf .= chr(128 + ($hex % 64));
}
return $utf;
}
header('Content-Type: text/plain; charset: utf-8');
print unichr('\\u20AC');
?>
Most fonts (used to) only have the iso 8859-1 characters, and the EUR symbol
is only added in iso 8859-15.
Hope that solves your problem...
Keep up the good work :)

asgeir

* mike knocks his head *
I viewed the output in the debugger window of PhpEdit,
which displayed the universal currency symbol "¤" after
iconv'ing with iso-8859-15 - should have viewed with
Mozilla first... :)
> Hope that solves your problem...
Well yes, but it raises another obstacle :)
Is the EUR symbol the only difference between
latin1 and latin9? It seems at a quick glance.
> Keep up the good work :)
Thanks, I'll try at least :)
Is l0t3k still developing ext/i18n?
While google'ing I read something that he also implemented an
ICU parser. pearfr-org is not reachable and the my userland
ICU parser is extremely slow (would need to integrate a cache).
However - thanks a lot again!

It's a few other characters too.. not many though.

Yes, this is a very interesting project indeed. There are no changes in cvs
since october though, but I emailed him some days ago, and he said he'd
started working on it again. From browsing the code it seems like it's
quite a lot of the ICU functionality allready implemented.
What he's been doing is using the c++ implementation of ICU and mapping it
to php classes, so he's not actually creating the parsers or anything, just
porting the whole library, similar to what's done with SimpleXML. Which is
a very very good idea, and something php really needs.

URL?
http://www.voltex.jp/cvsweb/cvsweb.cgi/php-i18n/#dirlist
seems to be outdated, and the checkout script is broken, too.

Yeah, even better! PHP would really need it, but browsing some
mail archives it seems that he didn't get much feedback...
BTW: he => she? http://www.l0t3k.org/

Yeah, i did a search, and it's kind-of sad that it didn't get more feedback,
since it would have brought php a very long step towards proper i18n.

oops, sorry about that. one should never assume...

i started already ;-) there were a lot of changes to be made to make it
compile with the current cvs. the challenge is also to make the classes
inheritable from PHP code (not as easy as it should be, unfortunately). i
hope by this weekend (may 22) to have a working version with some basic
tests.

not quite. i really wanted this to be included in the core of PHP, so i
actually ported the code from C++ (yes im a sucker for torture, but the
extension should compile anywhere PHP compiles)

Great news! So, can the source be viewed somewhere?
I did only find a broken CVSweb (see previous posts).

Has there been any forthcoming discussion on including
ext/i18n in the PHP core? I guess it's already much
too late for PHP 5.0 ;-(

i already contacted the CVS maintainer, but i havent heard back from him
yet. if you'd like a source dump, you're quite welcome, though it currently
only compiles under Windows...

no discussions (yet). i helps to have a working, web-accessible product
first ;-> in any case it seems likely that the extension will reside (if
only initially) in PECL. the newly minted PDO (database abstraction layer)
was just posted there.

Does your code compile with rc2 or cvs on windows? i wouldn't mind a source
dump to check it out...

i built it against CVS last night, but i havent had a chance to actually
test it. give me a day to clean some things up and and i'll send you a zip
archive.

Would be nice if you could put the archive online somewhere.
Or checking it in to the PECL repository would be even better :)

i know. my only online presence was at www.pearfr.org, which seems borked at
the moment. the same goes for the CVS as voltex.
now if you'd like to provide some space temporarily ....
>>Or checking it in to the PECL repository would be even better :)
i do intend to submit it to PECL. however, i wanted to have some other eyes
scrutinize it (its ugly in spots), and ensure it builds properly under *nix
before i did so. in any case, after my work this weekend, i'll submit a
formal proposal on PECL-DEV.

AFAIK Pierre shutted down this site completely...
However, I could give you a CVS account on my box,
just drop me a mail with your desired password ;-)

Ah, please use [EMAIL PROTECTED] because the mail queue
at php.net is somewhat overloaded :)

It should be working now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
As a sidenote, you can check out the whole source from the server
by the following set of commands:
$ cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot login
(Just press enter for the password prompt)
$ cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot co php-i18n
Guys who want to take part in the development, please let me know.
I'll create cvs accounts for you.
