[SOLVED] UTF8 &-Problem

[Tobiwankenobi]

Hi everyone,

if a shopper enters the company e.g. "Smith & Wesson" into the bill/ship to address, it will appear as "Smith & Wesson" on the PDF. Does anyone know a solution for that?

All fields of the table jos_vm_order_user_info are utf8_general_ci. Of course the whole database...

I thought about giving http://www.tecnick.com/pagefiles/tcpdf/ ... F8ToLatin1 a try?

Thanks in advance for any reply,
Tobiwankenobi

Hi Jan,

thanks for your reply! Of course, unhtmlentities will help!

I'll post the complete solution later!

Sorry for the delay, had a big exam to finish.

What I did is, I replaced

Code: Select all

$this->Cell(0,0,$hD['dbbt']->f("company"),0,0,'L');

through

Code: Select all

$this->Cell(0,0,$this->unhtmlentities($hD['dbbt']->f("company")),0,0,'L');

and the UTF-Problem was gone!

Happy new year everyone!

A customer has written in Middle Name "Pat". I have the

Code: Select all

$hD['dbst']->f("middle_name")

in

Code: Select all

$this->unhtmlentities($hD['dbst']->f("middle_name"))

changed but in invoice still stands: "Pat"

Hi, maybe you should use some str_replace function to remove the quotes.

here is the solution with str_replace

Code: Select all

$this->unhtmlentities(str_replace(""", "-", $hD['dbst']->f("middle_name")))
