Re: Themed Views & Unicode

What about the following?

cat /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local

cat /etc/default/locale

Have a look at the page headers using Firebug or something similar. Or just use wget in a terminal:

wget -S http://yourappaddress

Look for the line with Content-Type: text/html; charset=XXXXXX

> Since controller file cannot have utf-8 encoding ...

Of course it can. It's a text file.

To check all your files at once, cd to the View directory and run this:

find . -type f -exec file --mime {} \; > charsets.txt

Then open charsets.txt and see if anything weird is in there. If you see us-ascii that's ok.

Thank you.

Yes, I did think of that. I did a cat of the files and could see unicode properly. I got

/opt/lampp/htdocs/cake/app/View/Themed/Default/Layouts$ file --mime default.ctp

default.ctp: text/html; charset=utf-8

I have moved to Ubuntu recently. The cakephp 1.x files were written in the Windows environment. So, this was my first suspicion.

It seems to me that while the cakephp is building the webpage, the unicode characters are not being read/written properly. I did not find any other setting, other than the one in core.php

I will also have to stand corrected, that it is not just the unicode chars in the themed files, but the chars in the view/controller files. Since controller file cannot have utf-8 encoding I am using hash encoding for such chars.

ex: $this->Session->setflash('ನೀವು ದಾಖಲಿಸಿದ ಹೊಸ ಪುಸ್ತಕವನ್ನು ಕಾಯ್ದಿರಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳ ಪಟ್ಟಿಗಾಗಿ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಕ್ಲಿಕ್ ಮಾಡಿ.');

Even these end up being "?"

I have developed an application using themes. The app has unicode characters. It works fine in Cakephp 1.x. I have been trying to migrate it to cakephp 2.x and I am facing certain issues. I did a lot of search on google as well as discussions, however could not find any solution.

The problem is that the unicode characters are being displayed as "?". These are unicode characters from the layout files, the controller code, the view code. However the unicode characters fetched from the database are being displayed properly.

I have set the encoding in core to UTF-8 and the encoding in the database config file as utf8.

I am using UBUNTU 12.04, XAMPP (lampp) 1.7.7, cakephp 2.x

Thank you,
