POST from Flash (AS2) to PHP, outputs ??? when non-english characters are used -

-

i trying use post in flash (actionscript 2), post values php mail script. tried php mail script html form, , worked fine.

but when post flash , input non-english characters, "????" in mail.

i tried utf8_encode($_post["name"]), doesn't help.

edit:

i tried utf8_decode($_post["name"]), didn't work.

update: (so wont have go through comments)

  1. i checked variables in flash, values stored correctly.
  2. the html page flash embedded utf-8 encoded.
  3. i watched post headers firebug, post messed up, showing "????" instead of real value.
  4. the messed "????" value, url-encoded flash, , decoded php, resulting in $_post["name"] == "???";

i suspect sendandload method creates mess.

update:

here flash code:

system.usecodepage = true; send_btn.onrelease = function() {    my_vars = new loadvars();    my_vars.email = email_box.text;    my_vars.name = name_box.text;    my_vars.family_box = comment.text;    my_vars.phone = phone_box.text;  if (my_vars.email != "" , my_vars.name != "") {     my_vars.sendandload("http://aram.co.il/ido/sendmail.php", my_vars, "post");     gotoandstop(2); } else {     error_clip.gotoandplay(2); } my_vars.onload = function() {     gotoandstop(3); }; };      email_box.onsetfocus = name_box.onsetfocus=message_box.onsetfocus=function () { if (error_clip._currentframe != 1) {     error_clip.gotoandplay(6); } };

flash uses utf8-encoding strings, anyway. if use loadvars, transfer urlencoded string should work automatically.

so problem in php part of application. example, in order utf8 work correctly, all individual php files must saved in utf8-encoded format, well.

if changing file encoding doesn't work, try parsing $http_raw_post_data first, check if fields have been transferred correctly, go on , echo way through until find place encoding lost.

update:

here problem: use system.usecodepage = true;. requires specifically encode data unicode before sending it. unless have other documents in other encodings, and/or allow users upload own text data localized encodings, set system.usecodepage = false;, , utf8-problem should go away.

javascript - Enclosure Memory Copies -

-
function myclass() { //lots , lots of vars , code here. this.bar = function() { //do numerous enclosed myclass vars } this.foo = function() { alert('hello'); //don't enclosed variables. } } each instance of myclass gets own copy of bar , foo, why prototyped methods use less memory. however, know more memory use of inner methods. it seems obvious me (1) below must true. agree? not distinct myclass instances have own distinct copies of bar, must have own distinct copies of myclass enclosure. (or else how bar method keep myclass variables straight on per instance basis?) now (2) question i'm after. since inner foo method doesn't use in myclass enclosure natural qustion is: javascript smart enough not keep myclass enclosure in memory use of foo? this depend entirely on implementation not language. naive implementations keep far more around others. answer true e.g. v8 (chrome's js engine) may not true spider...

-
example preg_replace('/\{[a-za-z.,\(\)0-9]+\}/', 'replaced', 'lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1({tag2()})}, consectetur adipiscing elit.'); the result: lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1(replaced)}, consectetur adipiscing elit. question as can see "tag2" has been replaced, want replace "tag1" know how can this? (in cases might this: {tag1({tag2({tag3()})})}) , on.) btw using preg_replace_callback, easier show preg_replace here site can test code: http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php you need add curly braces character set. here's pattern used: /\{[a-za-z.,\(\)\{\}0-9]+\}/ and here result: "lorem ipsum dolor sit replaced, consectetur adipiscing elit."
