problem with accents

[Mchl]

How would that help?

I had a similar problem with a messaging script before it was returning gibberish html when recalled I found that when i stripped the html before storing it and recalled it the problem was solved. Maybe it won't work in this instance

in fact, the messages in the database are already filtered with htmlentities and looks like this:

ouè man

 

This is weird... Can you take a look at the code shoutbox uses to display messages to see if it's replacing these entities somehow? Because data sent to shoutbox seem to be enocded correctly.

well like i said when i check inside the database, the accents are already encoded with html entities

 

and since the shoutbox display the accents correctly, there must be a way to do it...

 

 

here is the script of the shoutbox i am using if this can help:

This code smells...

 

Anyway, take a look at function retrieveChat() in qshout.php. Especially on these lines:

 

  $user    = html_entity_decode($row["user"],ENT_QUOTES);
  $message = html_entity_decode($row["message"],ENT_QUOTES);
  $message = parseStringToHTTP($message);

thanks, i got it working now !

 

i tryed with html_entities_decode before but it didn't work, i don't understand why it works now... probably done something wrong when i first tryed it
