Subject: [flexcoders] Problem sending swedish characters from flex to php
(amfphp)
Hi all,
Im having some problems sending special characters (swedish characters
ä, ö, and å) from Flex to a Database through AMFPHP. When inserting
these types of characters directly from php in the database,
everything works fine. ie
INSERT INTO TABLEX VALUES ('äää');
And fetching from the database into php and to Flex also works like a
charm. Im guessing its something to do with my phpenconding when
recieving the characters from Flex or something with amfphp. Any ideas
would be greatly appreaciated. Btw, im using Flex2/3, Amfphp 1.9beta2,
and a mySQL db.

Re: [flexcoders] Problem sending swedish characters from flex to php (amfphp)
What I have learned is that the best practice is to enforce UTF-8 encoding at
every stage -
What I do:
Setup mySQL "character set" and "collation" to - UTF-8 unicode
I have not worked with AMFPHP but using PHP I establish UTF-8 encoded at the
beginning of all PHP scripts that handle data.
iconv_set_encoding("input_encoding", "UTF-8");
iconv_set_encoding("output_encoding", "UTF-8");
iconv_set_encoding("internal_encoding", "UTF-8");
These are essentially the same as the mySQL_query('SET NAMES, UTF8')
WARNING: If you call the iconv_set in PHP do not also call the
mySQL_query('SET NAMES, UTF8') as this is redundant and will cause UTF8 encoded
characters to be re-endcoded to UTF8 which seriously mangles the data.
This setup is working fine though I have not tried to handle swedish but I know
it does support french without any problems.
