Hi,
use base64_encode() and base64_decode
actually, base32_encode or hexencode would be better, but oh my, php doesn't
have these built in.
If you're using PEAR there is a DataObject_Filter class somewhere that's
handy for encoding decoding on the fly.
Kind regards,
Michiel

I have a form where people input some text, which is then incorporated
into an HTML snippet which appears in a textarea for them to copy &
paste into a web page.
People will be entering foreign language stuff as well as special
characters like copyright, so I have to be sure this is handled
properly.
I tried rawurlencode() but that results in HTML which displays the
encoding when they paste it into their web page. I tried htmlentities
but that gives different characters than what they typed when displayed
in the textarea. I also tried no encoding, which worked well, except
that it gets messed up when I try to write it to the database and I
have the same problem again when retrieving it.
"Caon " is a good example.
htmlentities('Caon ') -> Cañon © in the textarea, displays on their
web page as Cañon ©, but reads/writes OK from the database.
rawurlencode('Caon ') -> Ca%C3%B1on%20%C2%A9 in the textarea,
displays on their web page as Ca%C3%B1on%20%C2%A9, but reads/writes OK
from the database.
No encoding gives Caon in the textarea and displays on their web
page as Caon , but appears in the database as Cañon ©
How can I handle this so that what ultimately displays on their web
page, after copying the HTML out of the textarea, matches what they
typed in the form, and yet can be read & written from the database
properly?
