Character encoding issues - UTF-8 / Issue while transmitting data on the internet?
I've got data being sent from a client side which is sending it like this:
// $booktitle = "Comí habitación bailé"
$xml_obj = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
// node created with booktitle and added to xml_obj
// NO htmlentities / other transformations done
$returnHeader = drupal_http_request($url, $headers = array("Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8"), $method = 'POST', $data = $xml_data, $retry = 3);
When I receive it at my end (via that drupal_http_request) and I do htmlentities on it, I get the following:
Comí habitación bailé
Which when displayed looks like gibberish:
Comà Habitación Bailé
What is going wrong?
Edit 1)
<?php
$title = "Comí habitación bailé";
echo "title=$title\n";
echo 'encoding is '.mb_detect_encoding($title);
$heutf8 = htmlentities($title, ENT_COMPAT, "UTF-8");
echo "heutf8=$heutf8\n";
?>
Running this test script on a Windows machine and redirecting to a file shows:
title=Comí habitación bailé
encoding is UTF-8heutf8=
Running this on a linux system:
title=Comí habitación bailé
encoding is UTF-8PHP Warning: htmlenti开发者_JAVA技巧ties(): Invalid multibyte sequence in argument in /home/testaccount/public_html/test2.php on line 5
heutf8=
I think you shouldn't encode the entities with htmlentities just for outputting it correctly (you should as stated in the comments use htmlspecialchars to avoid cross side scripting) , just set the correct headers and meta end echo the values normally:
<?php
header ('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
?>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
htmlentities
interprets its input as ISO-8859-1 by default; are you passing UTF-8 for the charset parameter?
Try passing headers information in a key/value array format.
Something like
$headers = array("Content-Type" => "text/xml; charset=utf-8"")
