[PHP] Unicode - Entitiy Encoding
Hi all, I'm stuck with this problem: I am trying to convert a text with any kind of unicode characters to its octet and entity equivalents. For example: Ë is #203; as octet and Euml; as entity Đ is #272; as octet and Dstrok; as entity My code works fine for some characters ( Ë works fine, but Đ fails at entity encoding). Do you have a hint, how to solve this? I try to get the octet encoding with mb_encode_numericentity which works fine for everything $convmap = array( 0x22, 0x22, 0, 0x, # 0x26, 0x27, 0, 0x, # ' 0x3c, 0x3c, 0, 0x, # 0x3d, 0x3d, 0, 0x, # 0x80, 0x, 0, 0x, ); $oct_string = mb_encode_numericentity($test, $convmap, 'UTF-8'); I try to get all entity encodings with htmlentities $entity_string = htmlentities($test, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); But that fails for some characters like Đ. Is there a better way to get all entity encodings? Thanks, Sebastian -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Unicode problems
This is slightly OT but I honestly don't know what else I can do. I was asked to migrate a website from diff hosts. Okay, pretty easy, right? Well, as usual, it wasn't. Site pages content type was ISO-8559-1 and it was developed for a MySQL5 database that used latin1 as charset and InnoDB as storage system. Pretty normal and ran smoothly. The client database is a old 4.0 MySQL that (I'm not sure if they're just disabled but it) doesn't have InnoDB and latin1. So I'm stuck with MyISAM and UTF8. No, they can't change it - their hosting want them to migrate to MSSQL and they can't switch hosts for whatever reason. After I uploaded the files and ran it, my HTML files displayed correctly but all accented chars that came from DB were displayed with weird chars, as I imagined it would. I then set my html content type to UTF-8 and I also had problems, but in backwards this time - DB values were OK and website content was bad. I couldn't find any good function/script to convert all my files to UTF-8 and then I built my own. It uses iconv and works like a charm. But unfortunately I still can't get all pages to work. I have no idea why or how, but *some* queries return the text in ISO-8859-1. I even dropped the table and recreated them explictly saying it's a UTF8 table but some rows are in ISO and others in UTF-8 (that or some mysql_fetch_* functions converts them). It's been 2 days and I still can't see a solution. I even thougth of adding utf_decode on all of mysql_fetch* results, but I didn't build this website so I don't feel like adding that in *every* call (it doesn't have a wrapper for mysql_* functions). So, I'm here to humbly ask for your help. What can be wrong? PHP Version is 4.4.8 Thanks, -- Thiago Henrique Pojda http://nerdnaweb.blogspot.com

E.g., the bullet (0x95 in cp1250) will be converted to whatever encoding the web page is in (0x2022 in a Unicode encoding). Whether the conversion is performed by the browser, some OS glue or some other trickery, witchery or devilry, is at the moment beyond my scant knowledge. How to solve the original posters problem is also beyond me, as I haven't used AJAX. I tend to prefer the ol' form submission for my bits and bobs. That way I can use UTF-8 all way around, and everything just magically works.

RE: [PHP] Unicode Problem
I can take ANY number I want, and put %u in front of it... That don't make it mean anything. You also need to know the charset it came from to start with, which in the case of MS Word, is not even a standard charset, but some made-up proprietary random assemblege of numbers to characters they found convenient that day. You also might want to consider using something like FCKEditor or that other one like it to let users compose HTML-formatted content.

On my php form i can type this clearly, but once preview it changes the character to Í or something similar (I guess). But when i used a Unicode character that has a keystroke value ë for example once preview it generates the correct character.

For clarity: ord() is not what I need, as it can only recognize ASCII chars. I need to be able to get ordinal data about the whole range of Unicode characters. -Roy -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Unicode TTF Font wingding's just don't cut it!
Does anyone know where I can get a simple symbol font which is .ttf and unicode compatible. Seems that my php graphic program is very sensitive to ttf problems. It'll take one or two wingdings in imagettftext() before it up and dies. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Dies? How so? Is it a segfault? If so, please get me a backtrace. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

What symbols are you trying to use? Verdana is good enough for most unicode characters. hugh danaher wrote: Help Does anyone know where I can get a simple symbol font which is .ttf and unicode compatible.

Re: [PHP] Unicode TTF Font wingding's just don't cut it!
Thanks Neil, Verdana is nice, but what I'm looking for would have large circles (filled or open), squares, diamonds, and other basic geometric shapes. Nothing fancy but it does need to be unicode as I'm using it with php's image functions.
