I have done a few search on this issue with no luck. Maybe someone can provide me some insight into this issue. I have used CodeIgniter to provide an web interface to an desktop application.
For whatever reason I can get the right Charset Encoding to allow Double Byte Character to display correctly in the web app and the desktop app.
For an example if I use the following text in both apps: :特别是形声字 与简体字无关 this is what I see in the database via phpmyadmin for each app.
the desktop app produces: ç‰¹åˆ«æ˜¯å½¢å£°å— ä¸Žç®€ä½“å—æ— å…³
while the web app produces:
Code:
ç‰¹åˆ«æ˜¯å½¢å£°å— ä¸Žç®€ä½“å—æ— å…³
I've been told that the desktop app is use utf-8 but I can 100 percent confirm that original developer of the app is no longer with the company. However when using mb_detect_encoding() on the strings created by the desktop app
it report utf-8 for those strings and string created by the web app are reporting ASCII- however use something like iconv to try to go from ASCII to utf-8 with no luck.
I have made sure that my database (mysql) is setup for utf-8, i have the correct meta tab in my header <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />, I have all of the CodeIgniter setting for Charset/Encoding set to utf-8, I have tried utf8_encode with no luck.
I'm not sure what the next steps should be or how to continue to troubleshoot this issue? Any suggest would be greatly appreciated.
