Pavel asked 10 years ago

Hi,
I have problem with prezentation any special character from code page CP 1250.
I'm using UTF-8 in html pages, but DB (MS SQL) is in CP1250.
Most of 'Czech' chacaters is OK, but any is not show, show other character.
I have
" <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />"
in top of page with
"<script src="./phpgrid/lib/js/jqgrid/js/i18n/grid.locale-cs.js" type="text/javascript"></script>"

Could you help me please ?
Thanks

Please send me some test data (characters) which are not showing.
I'll recheck it on mssql and utf8 option.

Hi,

Since your last message, i am working on this case as top priority.
I'll be updating you once some result is achieved.

I have come to a point, that the JSON format b/w js grid and php lib must be in UTF8 format.
And in encoding/decoding the json, the utf8_decode is removing certain characters.
I am still trying some alternates to resolve this and find a better utf8 encode/decode function.

Update for others:

Ticket is resolved via emailing a mssql-patch for utf8.
Also, after the patch, customer feedback was:
We install new server WIN 2012 and new MSSQL client and now grid is OK 🙂
