[Resolved] string from Flash form gets garbage in the middle

[sgalmeida]

greetings,

I'm using a flash form to enter data and pass that data to a php script to send email. Problem is that the data entered containing chars like é or ó, like António, gets garbage in the middle of string, like , António ! What should I do?

thanks

Almeida

Hi,

I'm not completely sure but the string might be utf8 encoded.

Try to use something like $theString = utf8_decode($theString); inside the PHP script.

I pasted the example you posted into a test script and applied utf8_decode. After that the script displayed António.

after a long struggle I've also reached the answer: utf8_decode . but if not it was you who saved me because the the utf8_decode is, in fact, the answer 🙂 Many thanks 🙂
