Passing Accented characters using GET

[crtreedude]

Hi all, newbie to PHP and a lot of HTML, not a newbie to programming (C++, SQL, and about 20+ other languages)

 

Anyway, probably a simple problem. I have fields in a database that are in Spanish, so I end up with accents. For example, home phone is TeléfonoCasa

 

I am calling a page using the field name like index.php?TableSort=TeléfonoCasa and as you probably guessed it, it mangles the accent character - and ideas oh gurus?

 

Thanks ahead of time.

urlencode($string) would convert 'TeléfonoCasa' to 'Tel%E9fonoCasa'

 

then you could use urldecode($string) to switch back to 'TeléfonoCasa'

Thank you very much, I knew it was probably very easy, since I couldn't imagine this was a new problem. It worked like a charm.

 

I will try to participate in the SQL forums since I have lots (25+ years) of experience in that.
