Languages :: PHP :: special characters problem

I tried to submit a form with the post method.

<?php
if($_POST)
echo $_POST["input"];
?>
<form name="inputform" method="post">
<input name="input" type="Text">
<input type="Submit" value="auswerten">
</form>


When I use this script with Opera 7, NS 6.02 or Konqueror the some special characters (f.e the euro symbol) are converted into question marks.
With IE6, NS7, Mozilla 1.2.1 it worked fine. Is there a solution for this or is it a browser depending problem?

I really don't know.

But perhaps you could urldecode()

for me, your script works fine with my Phoenix 0.5 when I passed this string to it : "totoێra"

mhm.
The problem is that the input is converted before I can call any function. This is the main problem.

The best way to solve this problem would be to convert the euro symbol to its character entity.

The entity for the euro symbol is &#8364;

I would suggest a simple str_replace to accomplish this conversion.

$_POST[input] = str_replace("?","&#8364;",$_POST[input]);

I think this is clearly an encoding-problem, browser-specific
