utf-8 and dropdownmenu

Hello Forum

 

Are there some users which use utf-8 for showing special characters with this contrib?

In my examples the german umlauts will be displayed incorrectly , if I change the browser settings to utf-8. With ISO-latin 8859-1 all works fine. Also within the normally categories-box, the entries will be showed correctlely:

 

Example : http://demo.handshake.ch/shop/

 

I use mysql 3.23.54, PHP 4.09 on Solaris 8 / X86

 

Somebody have an Idea, how I can fix this?

I think I'm going mad :-(

O.K. - I could fix it. in select_rs.php go to the bottom and insert the following line:

mysql_close($link);
//Add REGEX for utf-8 conversion
$s= preg_replace ('/([\x80-\xff])/se', "pack (\"C*\", (ord ($1) >> 6) | 0xc0, (ord ($1) & 0x3f) | 0x80)", $s);
return $s;
