Help with charset in form helper - El Forum - 01-26-2012
[eluser]@robertotra[/eluser]
Hello,
i have a problem with the accept-charset attribute in form_open function from the form helper. As User guide specifies:
Quote:form_open()
Creates an opening form tag with a base URL built from your config preferences. It will optionally let you add form attributes and hidden input fields, and will always add the attribute accept-charset based on the charset value in your config file.
What about if I need only some form fields within some forms to manage Latin1 characters? As example, it is certainly better that login forms are limited to utf-8 chars but textarea for non-english speakers need to accept at least Latin1 (that can then limited to utf-8 characters by use of htmlentities).
Is it not possible to change dynamically this attribute only for some forms according to the local needs or I am obliged to change the charset for the whole application, adding extra validation for all forms or extra workload for the whole application with a larger charset?
Thanks and best regards
Roberto
