Hi,

This problem is solved now (thanks Wez Furlong). The problem was, that i had the mbstring php module enabled (check with phpinfo). By default this module encodes input data. After i added the following lines to the php.ini the problem was solved: mbstring.http_input = pass; mbstring.http_output = pass;

bottomline, be carefull when activating this module, it might do more than you expect ;-)

I did some further testing, and i found that this behaviour is not consistent. Actually i am pretty puzzled about this.

When i wrote the message below is was testing with a xml document that contained only the following multi byte utf chacracter: \303\253 (octal utf8) (LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH DIAERESIS) The output from CURL got automatically decoded to latin1.

Then after i wrote the message i tested with another xml document that contained the following multi byte utf character: \342\202\254 (octal utf8) (EURO SIGN) I was suprised to see that the output was now correct UTF-8.

Now i modified the first document and inserted the EURO SIGN in this document. When i process this document again, the CURL output is UTF-8. So it seems the output of CURL depends on what it detects on its imput, and it will try to convert the data to latin1 if possible??

Does anyone know how i can disable this behaviour? For me, CURL should not do any encoding of my data.

Greetings, Merijn van den Kroonenberg

Hello List,

I have a problem with the php CURL module and UTF-8 data. My php script uses curl to do a post to a perl/cgi script. This perl script returns UTF-8 encoded XML. The perl script returns utf-8, i have verified that using the webserver logfiles, but the data that i receive in $result (see below) is decoded to ISO-8859-1.

$ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $post_url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields); $result = curl_exec ($ch);// #### UTF compatible? curl_close ($ch);

Anyone an idea how i can get curl to return me UTF-8 data?

Thank you,

Merijn van den Kroonenberg
