Hi,
I'm doing some work for a German website. They want to be able to type in characters for which there are HTML entities like
. The plain text should be stored in a database so it can be later retrieved and read into an XML file. The XML file is read by a Flash file to create a news ticker.
Unfortunately the ticker is displaying some characters incorrectly. I thought that you would need to use html_entities when writing to the database, html_entity_dec ode when reading from it and the ISO encoding in the XML file. Could anyone tell me where I'm going wrong. -
-
// Writing to the database.
-
-
$sql = "UPDATE news SET title = " . '"' . htmlentities( addslashes($_POST['title']), ENT_QUOTES, 'ISO-8859-1' ) . '"' . ", article = " . '"' .
-
addslashes($_POST['article']) . '"' . ", summary = " . '"' . addslashes($_POST['summary']) . '"';
-
if(isset($filename1)) $sql .= ", image_file = '$filename1' ";
-
$sql .= "WHERE news_id = {$_POST['articleId']}";
-
-
// Reading from the database.
-
$sql = "SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY news_id DESC";
-
$result = $con->sqlExecute($sql);
-
-
$xmlContent = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?>\n";
-
$xmlContent .= "<ticker>\n";
-
-
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
-
$xmlContent .= "<topic>\n";
-
$xmlContent .= "<text><![CDATA[<font size=\"12px\" color=\"#624A9E\"><b>" . html_entity_decode( $row['title'], ENT_QUOTES, 'ISO-8859-1' ) . "</b></font><br /><font size=\"12px\" color=\"#686868\">$row['summary'] )...</font><br /><font size=\"12px\" color=\"#624A9E\"><b>Read more</b></font>]]></text>\n";
-
$xmlContent .= "<link>NewsDetail.php?news_id={$row['news_id']}</link>\n";
-
$xmlContent .= "<targetIsUrl>Y</targetIsUrl>\n";
-
$xmlContent .= "</topic>";
-
}
-
-
// First line of XML.
-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
-
-
Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean,
I've done a simliar thing but with swedish characters, ÅÄÖåäö, I did not do any of the things you are talking about and it worked out fine, the PHP bit.
Maybe the flash is doing something nasty to the characters.

I've recently come upon an odd Javascript (and/or browser) behavior,
and after hunting around the Web I still can't seem to find an answer.
Specifically, I have noticed that the Javascript encode() function
behaves differently if a codepage has been set.
For example:
<script>
document.write(escape('Ôèëìè'));
(note: that should be five accented characters)

How does HTML.encode work?
I'm trying to save text in a hidden form field into a SQL DB. The tedt is
HTML (from a WYSIWYG editor...X-standard).
One problem I have is that stray apostrophe's in the HTML text are throwing
a SQL error. Html.encode doesn't seem to do anything with these, eh?
Secondly, does HTMLencode also encode already encoded items?

Hello
Is there a function that will allow me to
output text written in utf-8 (from db for example)
if my document has
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
I mean htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() will only convert
characters that have an associated entity defined in HTML.
