Danish characters in PayPal

I am so lost here.....

 

I need to get the danish characters transfered to PayPals site, and they just DON'T want to <_<

 

I keep seeing this message:

"You have entered unsupported characters for this field. Current available language character types are: European, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Thai. Please try again."

 

In the paypal_ipn.php file I have put in at line 410 (Terra surgested me to try this code utf8):

There are 3 lines - I have tried one at the time - but no one works

 

/* $parameters['charset'] = '<?php echo CHARSET; ?>'; // change to correct encoding! */

$parameters['charset'] = 'utf8'; // change to correct encoding!

// $parameters['charset'] = '8859-1'; // change to correct encoding!

 

I have also tried to change the language code on the PayPal site to different settings - nope NOTHING will work...

 

Are there any europeans out there that knows how to fix this....

I looked set UTF8 both at PayPal and in paypal_ipn.php, but that didn't help. Then I set Force shipping address to True in the settings for the module, and the error disappeared!

I have no idea of if it solved the problem or just made me not see the error, but it's gone.

 

Good luck!
