unemployment Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 When our members try to insert text from other sources, some of the markup gets transformed into special characters. We think this is caused by the transition from rich text editors to our text areas. Any idea how to fix this?

ManiacDan Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 The character set of the upload form, database, and display page all have to be the same, and they all have to support the stupid microsoft characters. Everything should be UTF-8. You may also need to use the mb_string functions if you're doing string manipulations prior to insert.
