Handling multiple character sets

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 11.2005

Hello members,

I hope you can help me with some coding.

Our users can submit a description of their service. Because they come from a lot of different countries and add the description in their own language, I have a lot of umlauts, French characters, Spanish, etc.

These descriptions look kinda spooky right now, because I don’t know how to convert these into standard characters in PHP.

If one of you knows how to handle different characters sets and to all display them right, please post how I can fix it.

Thanks!

@bokehOct 11.2005 — Your main problem is recognising the input. Somehow you need to be able to find the input encoding type when the text is entered. Once you know this all you need to do is convert to UTF-8.

Success!
