Re: utf8 encoding for solr not working

[Tanguy Moal]

I think you're using PHP to request solr.

You can ask solr to respond in several different formats (xml, json, 
php, ...), see http://wiki.apache.org/solr/QueryResponseWriter .

Depending on how you connect to solr from php, you may want to use 
html_entity_decode before using mb_substr.

I am running solr 3.5 with a mysql data connector. Solr is configured to
use UTF8 as encoding:

<dataConfig>
<dataSource type="JdbcDataSource"
             driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
             url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/test"
             user="solr"
             password="tester"
             convertType="true"
             batchSize="-1"
             encoding="UTF-8" />

unfortunatelly solr does encode special characters like "ä" into
htmlentities:

&auml;

which leads to problems when cutting strings with php mb_substr(..)

How can I configure solr to deliver UTF-8 instead of htmlentities?

Thank you for any help.
