[PHP] Re: HTMLEntities as NUMERIC for XML
I already had a function to go from weird MS-Word characters to HTML Entities, which I was putting into the DB as such. In retrospect, that function should have been called at output... Actually, I knew it should have, but convincing my co-workers was the proverbial brick wall, so I cheated and did it on data import and now I'm paying for it... I ended up just copy-pasting the entity/number table from here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_entities.asp and go through a 2-step process: RAW DATA (pasted from Word in unknown code-page/charset/encoding) HTML Name Entities HTML Numeric Entities This seemed to make the W3.org RSS validator happy It still looks goofy in the browser, but that's the problem of the users putting in this goofy stuff in the first place, so I'm shoving it back into their laps. My RSS feed validates, and the content within it not being right is the problem of the content creators. :-) [soapbox on] I'm pretty tired of dealing with this charset/codepage stuff, personally, after years of frustrating experiences, none ending in a real solution If anybody has a petition to abolish everything except for UTF-32, sign me up! :-v UTF-32 is the biggest, right? The one that has ALL characters anybody needs?... Hey, I don't care, UTF-64 or UTF-128 is fine by me too. Disk space is cheap. Just stop the insanity of endless incompatible irreversible calculations to substitute a bunch of numeric codes for characters, and make it socially unacceptable to use anything other than the one true encoding.

[/soapbox] I came across a similar problem using an AJAX thing, with MSWord characters in the text. The way round the problem was to enclose everything inside CDATA blocks, which made the browsers happy to receive as the entities only had to be understood by the HTML browser now, not the XML parser. As RSS is an XML format, maybe this would help you? Ash www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

I have a zillion of these things from converting stupid MS Word characters into

really want to re-invent the wheel here.
Somebody has to have written this function...
I'm kind of surprised it's not http://php.net/xmlentities or somesuch...
Here's what I use:

chr(149)= '*',
chr(150)= '-',
chr(151)= '-',
chr(155)= '',
chr(160)= ' ',
);
function cleanWin1252Text($str)
{
global $win1252ToPlainTextArray; //translate array for many dumb Windows special chars; used
for paste in textarears
$str = strtr($str, $win1252ToPlainTextArray);
$str = trim($str);
$patterns = array('%[\x7F-\x81]%', '%[\x83]%', '%[\x87-\x8A]%',
'%[\x8C-\x90]%', %[\x98-\xff]%');
return preg_replace($patterns, '', $str); //Strip

[PHP] Re: htmlentities and foreign characters from MS Word
That did it! It seems that my version of MySQL doesn't support Unicode
encoding, only the various ISO encodings. So, I guess this translation is
necessary before storing all text in the DB so foreign characters aren't
broken when I retrieve them from the DB.
Thanks!

Well it seems you have a UTF-8 encoded text after your function. Use
iconv to change it. See http://de3.php.net/manual/en/ref.iconv.php .
try doing this with your array before inserting it into the DB
foreach($insert_array as $key = $var){
$new_arr[$key] = iconv(UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, $var);
}
It can be that your array has a different coding than UTF-8 check the
manual for the htmlentities function, but i'm pretty shure that should
solve it.

I'm not how sure this is getting stored in the MySQL database, but, when I
run htmlentities() on this text, each foreign character is converted into 2
other foreign characters that don't at all represent the original.
For example, a lowercase u with an umlat over it (ü) is somehow displayed as
an uppercase A with an umlat over it followed by the 1/4 symbol after parsed
by htmlentities(). A lowercase o with an ulmat displays as an uppercase A
with an umlat over it followed by the paragraph symbol. It seems that the
uppercase A w/umlat is a constant, and the next character changes.
The ord() function returns the same number for all of these foreign
characters: 195. So, I'm not sure what's happening with these foreign
characters, and if there's any way to convert them to proper htmlentities
before being displayed in a browser. I thought htmlentities would do this,
actually.
Thanks!
