[PHP] curl and UTF-8
Hello List, I have a problem with the php CURL module and UTF-8 data. My php script uses curl to do a post to a perl/cgi script. This perl script returns UTF-8 encoded XML. The perl script returns utf-8, i have verified that using the webserver logfiles, but the data that i receive in $result (see below) is decoded to ISO-8859-1. $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $post_url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields); $result = curl_exec ($ch);// UTF compatible? curl_close ($ch); Anyone an idea how i can get curl to return me UTF-8 data?

[PHP] curl and UTF-8, follow up
I did some further testing, and i found that this behaviour is not consistent. Actually i am pretty puzzled about this. When i wrote the message below is was testing with a xml document that contained only the following multi byte utf chacracter: \303\253(octal utf8) (LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH DIAERESIS) The output from CURL got automatically decoded to latin1. Then after i wrote the message i tested with another xml document that contained the following multi byte utf character: \342\202\254 (octal utf8) (EURO SIGN) I was suprised to see that the output was now correct UTF-8. Now i modified the first document and inserted the EURO SIGN in this document. When i process this document again, the CURL output is UTF-8. So it seems the output of CURL depends on what it detects on its imput, and it will try to convert the data to latin1 if possible?? Does anyone know how i can disable this behaviour? For me, CURL should not do any encoding of my data.

Re: [PHP] Curl request works on command line but not in script
Hi,
make sure you urlencode everything that is sent on the url, or as postvars.
$d2 =urlencode($d2);
and so on
then
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $server);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$post);
don't use the $testrequest, cause it has un-urlenoded values
I think that should do the trick.

Re: [PHP] preg_match
hi,
yes, you have to escape the '.' because it has a special meaning, it matches
on Any character (except newline maybe).
But you probably do not need a preg_match anyway.

Re: [PHP] curl and UTF-8, follow up
Hi, This problem is solved now (thanks Wez Furlong). The problem was, that i had the mbstring php module enabled (check with phpinfo). By default this module encodes input data. After i added the following lines to the php.ini the problem was solved: mbstring.http_input = pass; mbstring.http_output = pass; bottomline, be carefull when activating this module, it might do more than you expect ;-) Merijn - Original Message - From: "Merijn van den Kroonenberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 4:10 PM Subject: [PHP] curl and UTF-8, follow up > I did some further testing, and i found that this behaviour is not > consistent.
