phpwcms Support Forum

I have the same problem as it is described in this thread http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8979

Some characters didn't show up OK in utf-8 encoded page (not in the backend, not in the front end), specifically č (ccaron).

I found out that if you are using utf-8 encoding it's necessary to tell that to MySQL - http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/ ... ction.html

So I added these lines to default.inc.php just after connection code (line 90 in v1.2.6 14.12.05) and it solved my problems.
I'm not sure if this is perfect solution, it works for me.
If somebody else have the same problem - you should try this.

And hopefully this will be fixed in next version

Hi Oliver,

I have the same problem: The phpwadmin works properly, If I set iso-8859-2 coding during the installation. The default collation in my my.ini is set to utf-8, therefore you have to change additionally the database collation with phpmyadmin to latin2_hunarian_ci and complete your default.inc.php with the row "mysql_query("SET NAMES 'latin2'");

However I would like use the utf-8 coding, therefore I set it during the installation, the collation the database remains utf8_general_ci, and the completin my default.inc.php is "mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'"); Further I convert all .php files from iso-8859-2 to utf-8, that contain hunarian text., in order to the text on the back and appear properly. I made this process with kate, simple open the php, select coding iso-8859-2, modify all "iso-8859-2" text to "utf-8", and save as with coding utf-8. Exactly this way customized my phpwbb, oscommerce etc.

With the phpwcms there are however trouble, If I do this. In my database there are many hungarian text, these coding are surely utf-8, but boot on the frontend and on the backend appears these text wrong.

I guess, in this case the phpwcms try convert these text between utf-8 and iso-8859-2 or vica versa, since my text are coded utf-8 boot on the database and my frontend, therefore casued trouble....just thinking.


Please see it as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance.

I have implemented the set names stuff. New release will be available soon.
