[PHP] character conversion problem
hi, i'm in a bit of a bind and i'm hoping someone can help me. i'm working on a project in which some data was saved into a postgresql database. It was copied from quark express and entered through a php interface. Unfortunately some of the records have a strange character encoding. For example, apostrophes were converted to %u2019. All the charactes seenm to begin with %u and have 4 numbers after that. i've seen this kind of thing in word documents. i don't know what it is, but i think it's the extended ascii character set. Anyway, i'm not sure what to do about it. i would like to find a way to convert this to simple ascii permanently or else find a way for it to display correctly in html and i'm hoping to do this in php. i would also like to find a way to prevent this from creeping into the system. i'm sorry i don't understand the problem well enough, and i'm sorry if i'm using the wrong words to describe this problem. Anyway i really appreciate the help. ~darcy w. christ 1000camels in a courtyard -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] appending to include_path
hi, i'm hoping to find a way to append to the include_path set in my php.ini file. i've got several virtual servers that each require different include_paths which are defined using the php_admin_value line in my apache conf file. Since the documentation says that include_path is like the UNIX PATH variable, i assumed (or maybe hoped) that i would be able to use a syntax like this: php_admin_value include_path "$include_path:/some/other/path" unfortunately, it doesn't work. Is there a way to append to the path? -- ~darcy w. christ Elegant Communications Inc. 416.362.9772 x222 | 416.362.8324 fax -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] appending to include_path
Hi Jason, i think you misunderstood what i was asking. i am doing exactly what you described below. My question is whether there is a way to not overwrite the include_path variable, but instead to append certain paths within my virtual server's setup to the master include_path that is setup in my php.ini file.

But from within php there are > functions to retrieve and set the include path. i see the get_cfg_var, but i'm not sure what to use to set that variable.
