Sending Unicode values from an html form (using JQuery ajax to PHP) results in question marks. The value is send using $.ajax and data = form.serialize(). The data looks like this before sending it to PHP %d9%86%D9%83 and so on. I tried to encode the value in the PHP side using many functions, but no luck.
I can provide a sample link if any one can help.
Thanks

Is your PHP file saved as Encode UTF-8?
Try using encodeURIComponent(fld.val()) and send it by itself and see what you get:- instead of serialize(), just to test.

I have html data like text including image src.when I alert using jquery it works fine. Entire html is displayed in alert box.And then I want to send that entire html data and text and something's id using query string of JQuery like:
$.post('something.php','socialprofileid='+socialprofileid+
'&txtMsg='+msg+'&postedHtmlMsg='+HtmlMsgresult)
But I need that entire html data including text and id in php page like get html data, text, id in JQuery alert box
I try to use window.btoa function(base64 encoded format) for HtmlMsgresult. After doing base64 encoded format in javascript, when I try to send in php page, it doesn't get any print in php page.
Another thing is there any solution Text and htmldata(html text and img src) are combined and then it is done the base64 encode.And then it is send in php page using query string like:
if(txtmsg='') {
var result=window.btoa(htmldata);
} else {
var content=text+htmldata;
var result=window.btoa(content);
}
$.post('something.php','socialprofileid='+socialprofileid+'&result='+result)
Is it possible to do that?
And then I want to insert into database in something.php and then in another page I want to fetch the htmldata and text which are encoded by base64 using jquery. Then it is converted by base64_decode function.
But within text and htmldata, How to extract text , htmltext, htmlimgsrc differently from the database table.
If u know about these type of problems, please reply me
I need your hand
Thank you
$.post('something.php',
{socialprofileid:socialprofileid,
txtMsg:msg,
postedHtmlMsg:HtmlMsgresult});
jQuery will apply encodeURIComponent by itself. And yes, you need encodeURIComponent applied to the values of the parameters if you want to encode the data by yourself. Read the following topic When are you supposed to use escape instead of encodeURI / encodeURIComponent?
ps: you do not have to do anything in the php script, the data will be decoded automatically by the server. Access $_POST['socialprofileid'], $_POST['txtMsg'] and so on in php.
In php, you can get the post parameters with the $_POST variable.
<?
echo $_POST['socialprofileid'], PHP_EOL;
echo $_POST['txtMsg'], PHP_EOL;
echo $_POST['postedHtmlMsg'], PHP_EOL;
?>
I have a json_string in my database.
I echo and parse it to an object in javascript
I do
$.parseJSON('<?php echo $json_string;?>');
I get a json parse error.
What should I be doing?
This is my json_String
{"patches":[[{"diffs":[[1,"\u000a\u000a printhellon() {\u000a\u000a\u000a}d\u000a\u000a\u000a"]],"start1":0,"start2":0,"length1":0,"length2":26}],[{"diffs":[[0,") {\u000a\u000a\u000a}d"],[1,"s"],[0,"\u000a\u000a\u000a"]],"start1":15,"start2":15,"length1":11,"length2":12}],[{"diffs":[[0," {\u000a\u000a\u000a}ds"],[1,"d"],[0,"\u000a\u000a\u000a"]],"start1":16,"start2":16,"length1":11,"length2":12}]],"times":[1314489779299,1314489779408,1314489779581]}
I think JSON parsers don't like line breaks in strings for some reason. Parsing worked for me after removing the \u000a characters.
Edit: just like Brad said, it would be better to include the code directly as an object. Parsing JSON is usually more useful for data obtained using Ajax or something.
From your example, it appears like you're trying to insert PHP code into your javascript. You can't use PHP like that. PHP is server side, while Javascript runs in the browser after the page has been downloaded.
If you must get data from PHP to your javascript, you need to use AJAX. It's actually really easy with JQuery. Check out http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
I have a javascript which sends some specific information to a PHP api . Before to send it performs encodeURI . How can I "decode" it in PHP ? I understand that urldecode/urlencode is different that javascript encode/decodeURI so what can I use ?
Use encodeURIComponent in Javascript: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_encodeuricomponent.asp and urldecode in PHP: http://php.net/manual/en/function.urldecode.php
Unless you've encoded it multiple times (e.g. by explicitly calling the encode method AND inserting the value into a form field which is then submitted) you don't need to do anything - it is transparently converted back to its original form when the request is parsed.
You can use rawurldecode function in php, but this function is not UTF-8, then your have to convert to UTF-8 with utf8_decode like this
echo utf8_decode(rawurldecode('Educa%C3%A7%C3%A3o%20Multim%C3%ADdia'));
Due to the nature of my project. I am pulling data from my db and outputting to javascript. Things were working just fine till I got to the main content. It has strings like (;, :, - ''). How do I ensure that these are displayed without crushing my script coz as for now nothing seems to work.
If all you have is a single string value then see answer by Tomalak Geret'kal.
If there is any chance of getting something more than a single value from your database, like an array, object, null, or anything more complex, then I would suggest using json_encode. By using something like this:
<script>
var your_JavaScript_variable = <?php echo json_encode(your_PHP_variable); ?>;
</script>
you can pass complex data structures, arrays, or even single strings from PHP to JavaScript with all of your backslash escaping done automatically.
Additionally when you use JSON for moving your data from PHP to JavaScript it will be easy to make your application get the data from your server asynchronously without page refreshes using AJAX in the future.
You can use the PHP addslashes function for inserting into Javascript, and htmlspecialchars for inserting into HTML.
You should be encoding that data into json. PHP has a handy function to do this, json_encode.
Be sure to use the JSON_HEX_QUOTE option or the quotes in your data will break your js.
Read this: http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php
I was building a simple web based calculator which takes equations from a HTML form, evaluates it on the server using PHP and sends the result back.
I am using Mootools to send the data via the req.send AJAX operation.
But, each time I have a '+' in an equation, it is not seen on the POST data the server gets.
Any ideas why this is happening and how I can work around it?
eg:
10 + 12 in HTML form is seen as 10 12 in the $_POST data.
The Mootools send command I am using is something like this with
<textarea name="equationTextArea">10+12</textarea>
req.send("eqn="+$('equationTextArea').value);
Upon submit, I see $_REQUEST['eqn'] as 10 12.
Try using the function encodeURIComponent over your text value. It, well.. uri encodes your text.
Set your form's encoding to multipart/form-data - this is an alternative to the default application/x-www-form-urlencoded and doesn't encode a space into a plus sign +.
Example from the w3.org reference:
<form action="http://example.com/cgi/handle"
enctype="multipart/form-data"
method="post">
Your text most likely either need to be URLEncoded.
