u welcome!
After Rene last reply I was going to tell you to check if you are running ver 1.4 which doesn't do any url-decoding. Typical error. I guess you have installed debian package before you make the svn revision and after machine's reboot wrong version was running. In advance, please don't ask me how to provide @ character on sender address. I haven't examined it yet. I prohibit users to enter that character on sender's address, for the moment, in our production system.

Guys, you are really helpful, thank you so much.

    Yes, it gives an info.

    I just now downloaded 1.5.0 as well to see if there are any
    differences.

    And it seems that url-decoding the msgdata field was introduced
    after that version.

    So try to use svn trunk revision.

    Could you display the insert statement that you are using?

    It must be similar to the one that Mike suggested.

    If i send url encoded chars like  %00%10%12%13%14' from url , http
    request, there is no problem at all.
    The issue occurs only with sql box. So.. i tried to change table
    send_sms to utf8, no luck.
    I turned it back to latin.
    Did you change default settings of send_sms table?

    2011/5/13 Tania Petsouka <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>>

    I tried it, but i receive the exact string i insert to the
    database: %00%10%12%13%14.

    short_message: "%00%10%12%13%14"

    Obviously, i have wrong settings somewhere... but my config is
    like yours..

    Have you got any idea?

    2011/5/13 Mike Nakos <[email protected]
    <mailto:[email protected]>>

    You are wrong when you put to DB value 0x00 because this indicates
    the end of the string.
    You see, null terminated string.
    You did also misunderstand the purpose of php hexdec() function.
    To make this function work you should use it this way:
    hexdec('00')
    But this is not the point.  D O N ' T  use chr() function.
    To correctly insert data to msgdata field and overcome the 0x00
    (NULL problem - which is not kannel's problem) is this:

    INSERT INTO send_sms (momt, sender, receiver, msgdata, sms_type,
    dlr_mask, coding)
    VALUES('MT', 'mike', '3069112345', '%00%10%12%13%14', 2, 31, 0);

    And again, URL-ENCODE the characters

    Give it a shoot!

    It didn't work.

    i replace '@' with  chr(hexdec( '%00' ))

    If i send a message with text  " [email protected]
    <mailto:[email protected]>" ,   I receive "user" .

    In kannel logs too : short_message: "user".

    I've tried to send all gsm charecters, but none turned to '@'.

    I guess it may be represented by two chars, like euro, but i have
    no idea.

    '0x00' is the null character, so kannel confuses somewhere and
    thinks that this is the end of the sms??

    I was thinking that it might be SMSC's issue but it is not since
    logs from submit_sm give  short_message: "user" .

    Mike, if you really send '@' , could you send me a db  insert for
    a message with this symbol to try?
    (ps: your patch for concatenation works perfectly)

    Hi again. %00 is the answer.

    Thank you Mike,
    i send greek properly using your settings.

    The only problem i came up with is symbol '@'.

    E.g :   For greek letter Phi, Φ,       i use : chr(hexdec( '0x12'
    )) ( or chr(hexdec( '%12') )
            For greek letter Lamda, Λ,  i use : chr(hexdec( '0x14' ))
    ( or chr(hexdec( '%14') )
            For euro sign ¤  i use :
    chr(hexdec('0x1B')).chr(hexdec('0x65'))
              .....etc

    When it comes to '@'   if i replace it to chr(hexdec( '0x00' ))
    according to gsm mapping,
    http://www.cardboardfish.com/support/bin/view/Main/GSMEncoding
    the message after this character disappears.
    I tried to replace it with chr(hexdec( '%40' )) , and i got 'i' in
    its position  to the received message.

    So, do you know which is the proper way to send  '@'?

    Hello Tania.
    I use the below settings on my kannel.conf file

    group = smsc
    smsc = smpp
    smsc-id = <myprovider>
    host = <ip address>
    port = <smsc port>
    receive-port = <smsc port>
    smsc-username = <username>
    smsc-password = <password>
    source-addr-ton = 0
    source-addr-npi = 1
    dest-addr-ton = 1
    #dest-addr-np = 1
    bind-addr-ton = 0
    bind-addr-npi = 1
    system-type = "VMA"
    enquire-link-interval = 30
    reconnect-delay = 10
    throughput = 20
    validityperiod = 1340
    alt-charset = "UTF-8"


    I don't use alt_dcs and set charset field on sms_send table to
    UTF-8 also.

    Of course, any Greek character like Δ must be written %10 to
    msgdata field.
    Personally, I encode every single character to its gsm value.
    Always with % in front of it.

    DB field and table encoding is utf-8 also.

    Try these settings and follow the thread with title
    SMS from sqlbox - Problem when sending more that 160 char with
    greek letters
    on May 2011.
    I think this will help you.

    Best Regards
