Hi everyone,
I have quite a problem with a COM-Object in PHP.
Following Situation:
I have a COM-Object that connects to a UNICODE-encoded database, reads
certain texts and returns them to PHP, where I process the text and send
it back to the database via the COM-Object.
Unfortunately I have to use the COM-Object and can not connect directly
to the database.
My problem is now, that there seems to be an encoding-problem between
the COM-Object and PHP. For example I have a letter that looks like an
"i", only without the dot above it. When I read a text containing this
letter from the COM-Object, I get that letter returned as a normal "i".
I have tried different internal encodings in PHP, but with no effect.
When I read the original file with these letters from the filesystem,
PHP handles it perfectly, also in the database the letters are correct.
It can't be a problem between the COM-Object and the database, because
when I do the same thing using C# it comes out as it's expected, but
somehow I have to get it working in PHP.
Does anyone of you know that kind of problem and maybe a solution to it?
Greetings
Calle

You could use the multibyte string functions (mb_XX) for characterset stuff.
Good luck!

Hi Marco,
thanks for your reply, unfortunately I already tried that without any
positive effect.
Best regards
