[AS3] Calling Php Script with UTF-8 POST variables
- by kornelijepetak
AS3 documentation says that Strings in AS3 are in UTF-16 format.
There is a textbox on a Flash Clip where user can type some data.
When a button is clicked, I want this data to be sent to a php script.
I have everything set up, but it seems that the PHP script gets the data in UTF-16 format. The data in the database (which is utf-8) shows some unrecognizable characters (where special characters are used), meaning that the data has not been sent in a correct encoding.
var variables:URLVariables=new URLVariables;
var varSend:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://website.com/systematic/accept.php");
varSend.method=URLRequestMethod.POST;
varSend.data=variables;
var varLoader:URLLoader=new URLLoader;
varLoader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
varLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
When submit button is clicked, the following handler gets executed.
function sendData(event:MouseEvent) : void {
// i guess here is the problem (tbName.text is UTF-16)
variables.name = tbName.text;
varLoader.load(varSend);
}
Is there any way to send the data so that PHP script gets the data in UTF-8 format?
(PHP script is retrieving the value using the $_POST['name']).
