I'm trying to open and show a nfo file with a php script.
Everything is working but the result isn't like in the NFO file. I got special chars like that :
�������������������������
When I open the source code of the result, I can see the NFO file like he is in real!
Did I need to use some special tricks for HTML or something like that ?
You can convert the character encoding of your NFO text (to output to eg. utf8):
$nfoContent = file_get_contents('foo.nfo');
$nfoContent = mb_convert_encoding($nfoContent, 'UTF-8', 'ASCII');
Thanks for your reply!
I found it, in PHP you just need to do :
header('Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ansi');
<?php
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');
$file = 'CORE.NFO';
$nfo = file_get_contents($file);
echo '<pre>';
echo iconv('CP850', 'UTF-8', $nfo).PHP_EOL;
echo '</pre>';

i have a csv file which have lots of lines like this:
I Want It All (Tribute to Queen);Dancer (おもしろ♪ Ver.)
Hijo De La Luna (Tribute to Mecano);Perfect (おもしろ♪ Ver.)
You've Got A Friend In Me (おもしろ♪英語 Ver.) [映画『トイ·ストーリー』より]
The CSV file has two columns. First one contains only english strings but 2nd one contains mix of english and japnese characters. My code to read this csv file:
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type">
<?php
header('Content-Encoding: UTF-8');
$string = file_get_contents('myfile.csv');
echo $string;
?>
// My output
��I Want It All (Tribute to Queen);Dancer (J0�0W0�0j& Ver.)
Hijo De La Luna (Tribute to Mecano);Perfect (J0�0W0�0j& Ver.)
��You've Got A Friend In Me (J0�0W0�0j& Ver.) [ f;u0�0�0��0�0�0�0�00�0�0]
If I try:
echo "Losing My Religion (Tribute to R.E.M.);I Love It (オモシロ♪ヴォイス ver.)"
it displays text with japnese characters correctly. I tried all the solutions, i found on this site, but unable to parse the csv file correctly.
I need help to parse this file correctly. Thanks in advance for your help!
I got the issue solved by this:
$f = file_get_contents('myfile.csv'); // Get the whole file as string
$f = mb_convert_encoding($f, 'UTF8', 'UTF-16LE'); // Convert the file to UTF8
$f = preg_split("/\R/", $f); // Split it by line breaks
$f = array_map('str_getcsv', $f);
I am having issues reading-writing data(with special-characters) to file.
I am doing something like this:
//Writing data..
<?php
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
$file = 'filename.db';
$data = 'Some string with special characters';
//Writing to the file..
#file_put_contents($file, json_encode($data));
?>
This works fine.
When I open the db file in Notepad ++, the data is proper.
Special characters are also stored properly:
//Reading data..
<?php
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
$file = 'filename.db';
//Reading from the file..
$data = file_get_contents($file);
$data = json_decode(utf8_encode(stripslashes($data)));
echo $data;
?>
This displays the special characters as "????" or sometimes like "u00cf" or some other characters.
What is going wrong, and where?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.
If you're not storing arrays or other complex data structures you do not need JSON.
When reading from the file, why in god's name do you mistreat the data by stripping slashes and running it through utf8_encode? That's what's destroying the JSON format and thereby your data.
Just write the raw string into a file and read it back as is, done!
$string = 'ユーティーエッフエイト';
file_put_contents('file.txt', $string);
$string = file_get_contents('file.txt');
Nothing more you need to do.
In data reading script, try:
$data = json_decode(mb_convert_encoding(stripslashes($data),
"UTF-8"));
I'm trying to use PHPWord to create a word document that will include dynamic data pulled out from a MySQL database. The database has MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
MySQL connection collation: utf8_unicode_ci and so does the table fields.
Data is stored and previewed fine in HTML, however when creating the document with the arabic variables, the output in Word looks like Ø£ØÙد Ùبار٠اÙÙرÙ.
$PHPWord = new PHPWord();
$document = $PHPWord->loadTemplate('templates/.../wtvr.docx');
$document->setValue('name', $name);
$document->setValue('overall_percent_100', $overall_percent_100);
$document->save('Individual Report - ' . $name . '.docx');
Is there anyway to fix that?
Well, yes. But you must unfortunately modify the library. The author of the library uses utf8_encode/utf8_decode obviously without understanding what they do at all.
On line 150, of Shared/String.php:
Replace
public static function IsUTF8($value = '') {
return utf8_encode(utf8_decode($value)) === $value;
}
With
public static function IsUTF8($value = '') {
return mb_check_encoding($value, "UTF-8");
}
Then, if you do
$ grep -rn "utf8_encode" .
On the project root, you will find all lines where utf8_encode is used. You will see lines like
$linkSrc = utf8_encode($linkSrc); //$linkSrc = $linkSrc;
$givenText = utf8_encode($text); //$givenText = $text;
You can simply remove the utf8_encode as shown in the comments.
Why is utf8_encode/utf8_decode wrong? First of all, because that's not what they do. They do from_iso88591_to_utf8 and from_utf8_to_iso88591. Secondly, ISO-8859-1 is almost never used, and usually when someone claims they use it, they are actually using Windows-1252. ISO-8859-1 is a very tiny character set, not even capable of encoding €, let alone arabic letters.
You can do fast reviews of a library by doing:
$ grep -rn "utf8_\(en\|de\)code" .
If you get matches, you should move on and look for some other library. These functions simply do the wrong thing every time, and even if someone needed some edge case to use these functions, it's far better to be explicit about it when you really need ISO-8859-1, because you normally never do.
Please find the following points to write all types of utf-8 right to left data insertion in phpword template.
In setValue function (line #95) in Template.php please comment the following portion of code
//if(!is_array($replace)) {
// $replace = utf8_encode($replace);
//}
If you have problem with right to left which in some language the text mix up with left to right text add the following code in the same setValue function.
$replace = "<w:rPr><w:rtl/></w:rPr>".$replace;

Also, make sure you don't use any styles to make it work, or else you will have to repeat this step in every function you use.
I had to fix it in two place different than Nasers's way:
1- in Section.php addText function:
I did this:
//$givenText = utf8_encode($text);
$givenText = $text;
2- in cell.php addText function
I did this:
// $text = utf8_encode($text);
now your word file will display unicode characters in right way.
And then i had a problem in texts directions.
i found the solution by using this code
$section->addText($val['notetitle'],array('textDirection'=>PHPWord_Style_Cell::TEXT_DIR_TBRL));
u can see the two constants in the cell.php file
const TEXT_DIR_TBRL = 'tbRl';
const TEXT_DIR_BTLR = 'btLr';
note that u can not apply other array combined styles like Paragraph before than 'textDirection' , because whose styles make 'textDirection' disabled.
Open PHPWord\Template.php
Change in setValue function (line no 89.) as below.
Change $replace = utf8_encode($replace);
to
$replace = $replace;
I am reading some data from a remote file, got every thing working till the point when i write some specific lines to a text file.
problem here is, when i write something like Girl's Goldtone 'X' CZ Ring it becomes Girl & apos;s Goldtone &apos ;X & apos; CZ Ring in txt file.
how do i write to txt file so that it retains text like written above and not show character code but actual character.
sample of my code.
$content_to_write = '<li class="category-top"><span class="top-span"><a class="category-top" href="'.$linktext.'.html">'.$productName.'</a></span></li>'."\r\n";
fwrite($fp, $content_to_write);
$linktext = "Girls-Goldtone-X-CZ-Ring";
$productName = "Girl's Goldtone 'X' CZ Ring";
var_dump
string '<li class="category-top"><span class="top-span"><a class="category-top" href="Stellar-Steed-Gallery-wrapped-Canvas-Art.html">'Stellar Steed' Gallery-wrapped Canvas Art</a></span></li>
' (length=195)
Code
$productName =$linktext;
$linktext = str_replace(" ", "-", $linktext);
$delChar = substr($linktext, -1);
if($delChar == '.')
{
$linktext = substr($linktext, 0, -1);
}
$linktext = removeRepeated($linktext);
$linktext = remove_invalid_char($linktext);
$productName = html_entity_decode($productName);
$content_to_write = '<li class="category-top"><span class="top-span"><a class="category-top" href="'.$linktext.'.html">'.$productName.'</a></span></li>'."\r\n";
var_dump($content_to_write);
fwrite($fp, utf8_encode($content_to_write));
Is it that you are reading the data from a remote file and then writing the same to a txt file? Agree with the above comment, its an issue with encoding. Try the following code:
$file = file_get_contents("messages.txt");
$file = mb_convert_encoding($file, 'HTML-ENTITIES', "UTF-8");
echo $file;
echo the response to your browser and see. If found proper, write the response to your txt file. Ensure that your txt file is UTF8 - encoded.
Check this out:: Write Special characters in a file.
fwrite is binary-safe, meaning it doesn't do any encoding stuff but just writes whatever you feed it directly to the file. It looks like the $productName variable you're writing is already entity-encoded before writing. Try running html_entity_decode over the variable first.
Note that html_entity_decode doesn't touch single quotes (') by default; you'll have to set the ENT_QUOTES flag in the second parameter. You might also want to explicitly specify an encoding in the third parameter.

this is my export2excel.php file and func1,2,3 are in functions.php file and produces table output all work well except character encoding in a strange way. I am using utf-8 encoding for all my files. 2nd else if statement above produces healthy encoded output but rest 2 are encodes my output with strange characters like "BÃœTÇE İÇİ". it is "BÜTÇE İÇİ" in turkish.
in short. same files, same encoding, same database but different results.
any idea?
Excel uses UTF-16LE + BOM as default Unicode encoding.
So you have to convert your output to UTF-16LE and prepend the UTF-16LE-BOM "\xFF\xFE".
Some further information:

Exporting data to CSV and Excel in your Rails apps
Instead I would use one of the existing libraries
PHP Excel Extension PECL extension by Ilia Alshanetsky (Core PHP Developer & Release Master)
Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer PEAR Package
PHPExcel
Edit:
Some code that could help if you really not want to use an existing library
<?php
$output = <<<EOT
<table>
<tr>
<td>Foo</td>
<td>IñtërnâtiônàlizætiøöäÄn</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Bar</td>
<td>Перевод русского текста в транслит</td>
</tr>
</table>
EOT;
// Convert to UTF-16LE
$output = mb_convert_encoding($output, 'UTF-16LE', 'UTF-8');
// Prepend BOM
$output = "\xFF\xFE" . $output;
header('Pragma: public');
header("Content-type: application/x-msexcel");
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="utf8_bom.xls"');
echo $output;
if anyone is trying to use the excel_writer in moodle and is getting encoding issues with output - say if you're developing a report that has a url as data in a field - then in this instance to simply fix this issue I wrapped the data in quotes so it at least opened up in excel here's my example:
// Moodles using the PEAR excel_writer export
$table->setup();
$ex=new table_excel_export_format($table);
$ex->start_document( {string} );
$ex->start_table( {string} );
// heading on the spreadsheet
$title = array('Report Title'=>'Report 1');
$ex->add_data($title);
// end heading
$ex->output_headers( array_keys($table->columns) );
**foreach($data as $row){
$string="'".trim($row->resname,"'")."'";
$row->resname=$string;
$ex->add_data( $table->get_row_from_keyed($row) );
}**
$ex->finish_table();
$ex->finish_document();
Excel uses UTF-16LE as the default encoding. So you should either convert UTF-8 to UTF-16LE yourself or use one of the tried and tested Excel PHP libs instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. I would recommend using PHPExcel...
