Typical software engineering schedule.

You spent 80% of time whilst doing 20% of the code.

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.

Last time, i copied it to be sure..



INSERT INTO send_sms (momt, sender, receiver, msgdata, sms_type, dlr_mask, 
coding)

VALUES('MT', 'tan', '306937078135', '%00%10%12%13%14', 2, 31, 0);

And i did it directly to the database..

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]>

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]>

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]" ,   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
Mike Nakos
