[Plugin: WP-Table Reloaded] special character € broken

    Hi,

    I just noticed when using the import functionality with csv the plugin seems to not ot handle the Euro-Character € correctly. The import itself goes well, just the € gets substituted by € .

    The file was in UTF-8 encoding, I double checked and tested because i thought i might have accidentally uploaded an ANSI file. Looking at it with an text editor it seems to be correct.

    Has this happened to anyone else as well?

    Btw, regardless of the error above this a great plugin, and I really enjoy using it. Thanks for that.

    Cheers!

    Hi,

    yes, this seems to be problem with the character encoding during an import. There are a few reports on broken imports with this character and others (like from foreign languages/alphabets).
    I don’t really know what exactly happens, but it seems to be something weird between character encoding of the file, how the PHP functions treat it, and the encoding in the database.

    However, this should only happen during an import. If you type in the € sign by hand, it should work as expected.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hey Tobias,

    thanks for getting back so quickly. I though it might be like that.
    I just wanted to import several tables with a few occurences of € somewhere in the data and keep them up to day using the export again.

    Maybe if I find time I will try to look in the code myself.

    Thanks again for that great plugin!

    Hi,

    that would be awesome! I have been trying to find out what’s going on with import and character encoding, but without success so far…

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
