Just a tought but i think you should check the encoding on the server to see if what you send is alright, because i had the same problem one time and it turned out the server was sending the bad string.
<?php
/*
* Following code will get single product details
* A product is identified by product id (pid)
*/
// array for JSON response
$response = array();
// include db connect class
require_once __DIR__ . '/db_connect.php';
// connecting to db
$db = new DB_CONNECT();
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
// check for post data
if (isset($_GET["pinnum"]))
{
$pinnum = $_GET['pinnum'];
// get a product from products table
$result = mysql_query("SELECT *FROM pin1h WHERE pinnum = $pinnum");
if (!empty($result)) {
// check for empty result
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
$result = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$product = array();
$product["pid"] =$result["pid"];
$product["pinnum"] = $result["pinnum"];
$product["pinnacle"] = $result["pinnacle"];
$product["created_at"] = $result["created_at"];
$product["updated_at"] = $result["updated_at"];
// success
$response["success"] = 1;
// user node
$response["product"] = array();
array_push($response["product"], $product);
// echoing JSON response
echo json_encode($response);
} else {
// no product found
$response["success"] = 0;
$response["message"] = "No product found";
// echo no users JSON
echo json_encode($response);
}
} else {
// no product found
$response["success"] = 0;
$response["message"] = "No product found";
// echo no users JSON
echo json_encode($response);
}
} else {
// required field is missing
$response["success"] = 0;
$response["message"] = "Required field(s) is missing";
// echoing JSON response
echo json_encode($response);
}
?>
