Garbled Foreign Characters

I thought K9 was going to put an end to mangled customer addresses with foreign characters by moving to utf8 but we are still getting this sort of thing

à (ö)
º (º)
ú (ú)
à (ü)

The correct character shown in brackets are in PayPal but not in K9 order emails or order center.

Is there a solution to this as it is quite time consuming to spot and rectify manually. How will the Quickbooks connector deal with them? I think QB importer will refuse to import it.

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

K9 went to UTF-8 to combat this stuff.  Is your Apache server encoding content as UTF-8?  What about your database?  Everything is encoded when sent to QB, so I don't think that's going to be an issue.

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

According to our webhost what we currently have is detailed below. Should we change all but filesystem to UTF-8? Will changing the database corrupt it?

| character_set_client                              | utf8
| character_set_connection                          | utf8
| character_set_database                            | latin1
| character_set_filesystem                          | binary
| character_set_results                             | utf8
| character_set_server                              | latin1
| character_set_system                              | utf8
| collation_connection                              | utf8_general_ci
| collation_database                                | latin1_swedish_ci
| collation_server                                  | latin1_swedish_ci

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

First, backup your database, just in case.  Changing the encoding is rather straightforward and shouldn't corrupt it, but in the off chance it does, you'll want to have a backup handy.  I recommend changing all of them to UTF-8 except character_set_filesystem, as you are dealing with the need to handle UTF-8 only character input from your customers.

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

Our webhost will not change the database for us but pointed me to a page at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6115 … n-to-utf-8

This throw up a few more questions about which version of utf8 we should go for. We are running

PHP Version 5.5.38
MySQL Version 5.5.54-cll

Can we make these changes bu submitting raw SQL database statements in the management interface or does it need to be done by commandline shell?

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

After reviewing the link, it looks like utf8mb4 is the way to go for what you're running.  I believe all of those statements would execute fine in the management interface.  My certainty on the 'ALTER DATABASE' command is a little less, but that will likely work too.  Depends on whether or not the statements are allowed to be executed by a database user, or must be executed by the mysql user.

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

Thanks.

Sorry, almost meant to ask you to clarify if all the current UTF8 encoding should be changed to utf8mb4?

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

I was only referring to the database encoding, as it's internal to the system, and that seems to be the only one on which it would be better off to run utf8mb4.  I'd run the standard utf8 on everything else as there is wider support and no issues.  At least as a starting point.

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

This is my first delve into sql so I am proceeding cautiously.

A copy of our K9 database has been created using phpmyadmin to which various statements have been run along with manual removal of bad characters using statements like "SELECT * FROM core_users where length(fname) > char_length(fname)" to give us the following setup.

character_set_client        utf8
character_set_connection    utf8
character_set_database        utf8
character_set_filesystem        binary
character_set_results        utf8
character_set_server        latin1
character_set_system        utf8
collation_connection        utf8_general_ci
collation_database            utf8_general_ci
collation_server            latin1_swedish_ci

We then pointed K9 to the new db using installer without making any other changes other than reload db on the final step.

Although we can access the site frontend and admin, any items added to the cart fall straight out. Is that because we need to change the server latin settings to utf8 or because more steps of the installer are required to initialise it correctly? Or am I just hopelessly lost and clueless (OK, maybe I don't need that last one answered...).

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

Are any sessions being added to the core_sessions table?  When you say items can't be added to the cart, I think of one of just two things:

1. Your core_sessions table is hosed for lack of a better term, or perhaps ecom_cart.

2. You are running in a mixed (non-SSL and SSL) environment, are using Chrome, and had your cookie set on the SSL URL.

So is it a session problem, or just a cart problem?

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

1. core_sessions appears to be OK as I see new entries being added to it like

a:2:{s:7:"created";i:1489045178;s:11:"ecom.cartid";s:32:"8R6O7U76QF0K56588F23CIO8XL0JG5TS";}

2. We are running SSL for all pages and using Firefox (although tested in Chrome and IE11 too).

When we upgraded to K9 the installer and importer made no mention that the DB needed to be upgraded to UTF8. It would be better if the installer had refused to continue until the db was setup correctly or better still configured it correctly before importing the data.

Can we have step by step instructions on resolving this issue. I know there is plently of info online but they offer conflicting advice and I don't have the necessary knowledge to know which is correct.

I am just looking at utf8 and not utf8mb4 for now as that adds another layer of complication. There is an article at https://mathiasbynens.be/notes/mysql-utf8mb4 that seems helpful. "Step 4: Check the maximum length of columns and index keys" highlights one of the complications.

Is K9 OK with the current Latin1 DB?

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

K9 is fine with Latin1.  It's fine with anything, really.  If you want to start using special character sets because your customers have non-English keyboards you may have to adjust your webserver and database encodings to compensate.

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

I am waiting for the K9 update before I take another look at this as I intend to create a new install of K9 on the server with a new UTF8 db. When can we expect the update to be released?

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

Any time now.  It's such a large update from a security/session perspective that I wanted it to go live on a few betas for a while.  Currently 9.0.2 is running on four sites and they're all doing great.  We've seen about 2,000,000 pageviews on it so far.  I would expect sometime over the weekend or next week for the update to publish to the central server and be ready for you.

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

So we have a new test server setup for utf8 (mysql, php, etc.) but there are some issues

1. Changing GBP to £ sign in Currency Settings: Conversions and Symbols gives a garbled frontend output
2. Entering £ corrects 1 above but the frontend now has an nbsp between the £ sign and figures e.g. "£ 1,380.00"
3. Going back into Currency Settings: Conversions and Symbols there is now a £ sign instead of £. Saving the settings takes you back to the problem outlined in 1 above.

We have created two Dbs. One using K9 with standard demo data and the other by importing our working db across by exporting Latin1 tables as plain text and then importing them in i.e. not just an sql dump. My theory is that the plain text export with be correctly converted to utf8. Both databases behave the same with the £ sign.

So I need to find our why we are getting this strange behaviour on the currency symbol. Can you offer any advice as I only have limited time to rectify before they pull the plug on old server?

And how much longer until update is released?

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

Sounds like server encoding (Apache) does not support the £ sign.  Check that.  Also, check your .sql files and be sure the character is not altered in there, and check the database directly using something like PHPMyAdmin to see if the characters are being stored right.  If all that checks out, either Apache encoding, or PHP default encoding doesn't match or isn't right.

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

Using phpMyAdmin: If I enter £ sign in core_settings then frontend display is garbled. If I enter £ it is fine. The DB can handle the £ sign so the corruption is taking place between K9 and the DB.

K9 handles £ correctly. The $ sign works fine so why not the £ sign? And why does a   appear between the currency info and selling price figures when currency is set to anything other than US$?

Could there be some legacy ISO/Latin1 coding left in K9 thats been overlooked? Is it talking to the DB with session variables set to the wrong character encoding?

I have exhausted all of my ideas on resolving the issue so all I can think to do is raise a support ticket if you would be kind enough to take a look.

NOTE ADDED: There is one issue I just discovered on the server that may be relevant. It is all set to utf8 but when I check Variables in phpMyAdmin the "Session Values" are set to utf8mb4. I have asked the hosting company to explain why this is so.

You mentioned in another post not to use InnoDB. They have set the server up as:

default storage engine
     MyISAM

default tmp storage engine
     InnoDB

Is that OK?

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

Everything looks OK there, but you've excluding checking PHP to see what it's default encoding is.  The three things that come into play are MySQL, Apache and PHP.  K9 uses PHP translation tables for encoding, and those tables apparently don't have the charset you're using, so PHP is probably the area where you need another adjustment.

Try this for me.  In {private}/CORE/CORE.php, in the xhtml_translate() function, you'll see this translation table load:

Code:

$trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES, ENT_QUOTES);

Try changing to:

Code:

$trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES, ENT_QUOTES,'UTF-8');

And see if that helps.  That will force a UTF-8 translation table pull from PHP.  If that doesn't work, for kicks change 'UTF-8' to 'ISO-8859-1' and see if that helps.  Also, during each of your tests, run one each with and without the following line commented in the same function:

Code:

$trans['£']     = '£';

We'll get to the bottom of this.

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

All of those changes made no difference to the behaviour previously reported until I changed to ISO and I got £ 900.00. So I have a pound symbol plus an extra corrupted prefix. Wacky! Same result with or without "$trans['£']     = '£';" remmed out.

One other notable point is that entering any of the $trans symbols listed gives a garbled output (apart from $ sign which is the only 2 digit entity code).

Entering £ outputs the "£ 900.00" (note the extra space).

Entering £ incorrectly outputs "&#? 900.00".

The get_html_translation_table page at http://php.net/manual/en/function.get-h … -table.php says "PHP 5.4 and 5.5 will use UTF-8 as the default. Earlier versions of PHP use ISO-8859-1." We run 5.6.

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

As taken from MultiPHP INI Editor in WHM (for PHP 7)

; PHP's default character set is set to UTF-8.
; http://php.net/default-charset
default_charset = "UTF-8"

cPanel reports software versions as

Apache Version     2.4.27
PHP Version     7.0.21
MySQL Version     5.6.35

Is it because uft-8 is variable-length encoding and ISO a single-byte fixed length encoding? I see that Latin-1 encodes just the first 256 code points of the Unicode character set, whereas UTF-8 can be used to encode all code points. At physical encoding level, only codepoints 0 - 127 get encoded identically; code points 128 - 255 differ by becoming 2-byte sequence with UTF-8 whereas they are single bytes with Latin-1. Is that why the $ sign works and none of the others?

Complete listing for ea-php70 is

; cPanel-generated php ini directives, do not edit
; Manual editing of this file may result in unexpected behavior.
; To make changes to this file, use the cPanel MultiPHP INI Editor (Home >> Software >> MultiPHP INI Editor)
; For more information, read our documentation (https://go.cpanel.net/EA4ModifyINI)

[PHP]

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; About php.ini   ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; PHP's initialization file, generally called php.ini, is responsible for
; configuring many of the aspects of PHP's behavior.

; PHP attempts to find and load this configuration from a number of locations.
; The following is a summary of its search order:
; 1. SAPI module specific location.
; 2. The PHPRC environment variable. (As of PHP 5.2.0)
; 3. A number of predefined registry keys on Windows (As of PHP 5.2.0)
; 4. Current working directory (except CLI)
; 5. The web server's directory (for SAPI modules), or directory of PHP
; (otherwise in Windows)
; 6. The directory from the --with-config-file-path compile time option, or the
; Windows directory (C:\windows or C:\winnt)
; See the PHP docs for more specific information.
; http://php.net/configuration.file

; The syntax of the file is extremely simple.  Whitespace and lines
; beginning with a semicolon are silently ignored (as you probably guessed).
; Section headers (e.g. [Foo]) are also silently ignored, even though
; they might mean something in the future.

; Directives following the section heading [PATH=/www/mysite] only
; apply to PHP files in the /www/mysite directory.  Directives
; following the section heading [HOST=www.example.com] only apply to
; PHP files served from wwwexample.com.  Directives set in these
; special sections cannot be overridden by user-defined INI files or
; at runtime. Currently, [PATH=] and [HOST=] sections only work under
; CGI/FastCGI.
; http://php.net/ini.sections

; Directives are specified using the following syntax:
; directive = value
; Directive names are *case sensitive* - foo=bar is different from FOO=bar.
; Directives are variables used to configure PHP or PHP extensions.
; There is no name validation.  If PHP can't find an expected
; directive because it is not set or is mistyped, a default value will be used.

; The value can be a string, a number, a PHP constant (e.g. E_ALL or M_PI), one
; of the INI constants (On, Off, True, False, Yes, No and None) or an expression
; (e.g. E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE), a quoted string ("bar"), or a reference to a
; previously set variable or directive (e.g. ${foo})

; Expressions in the INI file are limited to bitwise operators and parentheses:
; |  bitwise OR
; ^  bitwise XOR
; &  bitwise AND
; ~  bitwise NOT
; !  boolean NOT

; Boolean flags can be turned on using the values 1, On, True or Yes.
; They can be turned off using the values 0, Off, False or No.

; An empty string can be denoted by simply not writing anything after the equal
; sign, or by using the None keyword:

;  foo =         ; sets foo to an empty string
;  foo = None    ; sets foo to an empty string
;  foo = "None"  ; sets foo to the string 'None'

; If you use constants in your value, and these constants belong to a
; dynamically loaded extension (either a PHP extension or a Zend extension),
; you may only use these constants *after* the line that loads the extension.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; About this file ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; PHP comes packaged with two INI files. One that is recommended to be used
; in production environments and one that is recommended to be used in
; development environments.

; php.ini-production contains settings which hold security, performance and
; best practices at its core. But please be aware, these settings may break
; compatibility with older or less security conscience applications. We
; recommending using the production ini in production and testing environments.

; php.ini-development is very similar to its production variant, except it's
; much more verbose when it comes to errors. We recommend using the
; development version only in development environments, as errors shown to
; application users can inadvertently leak otherwise secure information.

; This is php.ini-production INI file.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Quick Reference ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; The following are all the settings which are different in either the production
; or development versions of the INIs with respect to PHP's default behavior.

; This directive informs PHP of which errors, warnings and notices you would like
; it to take action for. The recommended way of setting values for this
; directive is through the use of the error level constants and bitwise
; operators. The error level constants are below here for convenience as well as
; some common settings and their meanings.
; By default, PHP is set to take action on all errors, notices and warnings EXCEPT
; those related to E_NOTICE and E_STRICT, which together cover best practices and
; recommended coding standards in PHP. For performance reasons, this is the
; recommend error reporting setting. Your production server shouldn't be wasting
; resources complaining about best practices and coding standards. That's what
; development servers and development settings are for.
; Note: The php.ini-development file has this setting as E_ALL. This
; means it pretty much reports everything which is exactly what you want during
; development and early testing.
;
; Error Level Constants:
; E_ALL             - All errors and warnings (includes E_STRICT as of PHP 5.4.0)
; E_ERROR           - fatal run-time errors
; E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR  - almost fatal run-time errors
; E_WARNING         - run-time warnings (non-fatal errors)
; E_PARSE           - compile-time parse errors
; E_NOTICE          - run-time notices (these are warnings which often result
;                     from a bug in your code, but it's possible that it was
;                     intentional (e.g., using an uninitialized variable and
;                     relying on the fact it's automatically initialized to an
;                     empty string)
; E_STRICT          - run-time notices, enable to have PHP suggest changes
;                     to your code which will ensure the best interoperability
;                     and forward compatibility of your code
; E_CORE_ERROR      - fatal errors that occur during PHP's initial startup
; E_CORE_WARNING    - warnings (non-fatal errors) that occur during PHP's
;                     initial startup
; E_COMPILE_ERROR   - fatal compile-time errors
; E_COMPILE_WARNING - compile-time warnings (non-fatal errors)
; E_USER_ERROR      - user-generated error message
; E_USER_WARNING    - user-generated warning message
; E_USER_NOTICE     - user-generated notice message
; E_DEPRECATED      - warn about code that will not work in future versions
;                     of PHP
; E_USER_DEPRECATED - user-generated deprecation warnings
;
; Common Values:
;   E_ALL (Show all errors, warnings and notices including coding standards.)

; This directive controls whether or not and where PHP will output errors,
; notices and warnings too. Error output is very useful during development, but
; it could be very dangerous in production environments. Depending on the code
; which is triggering the error, sensitive information could potentially leak
; out of your application such as database usernames and passwords or worse.
; For production environments, we recommend logging errors rather than
; sending them to STDOUT.
; Possible Values:
;   Off = Do not display any errors
;   stderr = Display errors to STDERR (affects only CGI/CLI binaries!)
;   On or stdout = Display errors to STDOUT
; Default Value: On
; Development Value: On
; Production Value: Off
; http://php.net/display-errors

; The display of errors which occur during PHP's startup sequence are handled

; This directive determines which super global arrays are registered when PHP

; This directive determines whether PHP registers $argv & $argc each time it

; useful when running scripts from the command line. When this directive is

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

We're both learning as we go, so please bear with me.  I would next try to change PHP to use ISO-8859-1, and change the get_html_translation_table() function call in K9 to use  ISO-8859-1 and do another round of testing.  There's got to be a happy medium somewhere.  After the PHP change, you need to restart Apache.  Perhaps try that then add a change for Apache into the mix too.  We don't want to touch the database.  Everything in ISO-8859-1 is part of UTF-8 so the db should be fine at UTF-8.

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

Changing php.ini caused no character to be stored in the field at all so the ouput was just an nbsp and not even a garbled character. Tried with both translation table options. As soon as I returned php to utf-8 the corrupted symbols reappeared.

After a lot of messing about I came across the page at https://tutorialio.com/php/string/get-h … nction.php th at was updated recently. Please see comments under "Addtional Tips". I changed code to

Code:

$trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8', 'WINDOWS-1252');

that made the € symbol work as expected but the £ sign was coming out as "�£" so I remmed out "$trans['£']     = '£
" and now have just a £ symbol.

Price auto update has stopped working with £ sign (when Euro is selected it displays price as "Your Total:  ? 1,380.00". I remmed out the Euro line too and that still works so it seems that code is not required.

I tried a few other characters just to see what happened.

Å (#197) did not work - lower case #229 and the characters above and below it as fine.

These worked:
Ä Æ å À ß ĕ and even the dingbat ➽    10173    27BD         HEAVY WEDGE-TAILED RIGHTWARDS ARROW

BUT the &nbsp; is still there. Maybe you can fathom this out now I have done some groundwork. My approach is random tinkering until I get lucky - very time consuming! Hopefully you can bring some logic to the proceedings :-)

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

Is the UK pound sign you're entering being entered as a Windows character and not the actual UTF-8 pound sign?  If so, perhaps try copying a valid UTF-8 pound sign off this forum post and doing a copy/paste and see if that makes a difference.  You may have a keyboard/windows issue.

Re: Garbled Foreign Characters

With  "$trans['£']     = '£" remmed out the £ sign works but with the extra unwanted nbsp. The currency symbol on the pricing is only one aspect. The primary purpose of changing to UTF-8 is so non-English customers can add their address details without them being corrupted like they currently are. Most will be using Windows and mobile devices with a variety of languages installed so the cart needs to handle them otherwise there is no point in going to all this effort. Isn't the purpose of UTF8 to eliminate just such issues? My primary concern is that the db could get corrupted if it is not working properly.
