I've replied to your email and send you some updates. Did you get it?
If not, please check your junk folder.Also, is it possible to reinstall your MachForm to version 2.0?
Version 2 support UTF-8 much better.If you prefer, I can do the installation for you. Simply submit an installation request.

Hi,
I got a similar problem with german 'Umlauts' (ä, ö, ß etc.): Everything's okay in the browser-output of manage_form, edit_form, confirm, but it's wrong in MySQL and the output from the database is nonsense too. It was working in the previous version, but now I'm using Version 2.
I tried to change to iso-8859-1 format, but it doesn't work well...
Where do I have to change the input for the database?
Can you help me please or give me a hint? (I'm working locally on my computer)
Thanks!Molina

Molina,
What's the exact version of your MachForm? Open your changelog.txt file and look at the bottom.
As of version 2.0.c (1 May 2008) there is adjustment with the way MachForm handles international characters. This version should display Umlauts correctly in both MySQL and browser.
If you aren't using the 2.0.c, please download the package again from customer area and install it again with a new database. Is it possible?
MachForm uses UTF-8 encoding to support international characters. Thus, this version ensure your table to use UTF-8 character set.

Thanks again! Works fine!
By the way: How do I know that there's a new version with these little, but important changes? Where do I have to look for it? The download section only tells that this is version 2.0, maybe you could add the release date and version number?
All in all impressive work and support :-)

Sorry, there is still a problem, that I can't fix: international characters are displayed correctly in MySQL and browser, but not in manage_entries, edit_entry and view_entry.
Can you help me again?Posted 16 years ago # -

Hmm..that's weird.
Try this, edit your config.php file, insert this line below:
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8");
insert it below your admin username and password lines.Let me know how it goes.

Bonsoir,
Ce mail est traduit en mauvais anglais par google, car je suis français et mon anglais est médiocre.
Mon problème est le suivant :
Mes formulaires de réponse n’acceptent pas les accents . Et les textes des formulaires que je reçois s’arrête au premier accent .
Comment régler ce problème.
J’ai bien essayé de faire ce qui est proposé au dessus, mais ça ne fonctionne pas.
Merci pour votre réponse, et si possible en anglais ultra simple !

oups !!!
Good evening,
This address is translated into broken English by google, because I am French and my English is poor.
My problem is as follows:
My response forms do not accents. Texts and forms that I get stopped in the first accent.
How to solve this problem.
I tried to do what is suggested above, but it does not work.
Thank you for your reply, and if possible in English easy!

poilou,
Was there any modifications with your machform database or files?
Version 2 should have support French and any other international characters out of the box.Can I login to your MachForm to check it?

I can confirm I set up the script on a default Plesk server, and have issues with accents. Please advise on how to correct ?
Thanks.Posted 15 years ago # -
Just to illutrate that this is likely an UTF8 issue ? French words to confirm sending should be "Votre message a bien été transmis", and in fact appear as "Votre message a bien été transmis".

This seems to be language.php file issue. If you are translating it, make sure to set the file encoding to UTF-8.
Anyway, I've replied to support ticket from you guys, let's continue there.

This solved the issue for me: MachForm is properly working and can render all characters in French and other languages. However you must make sure your pages that hold the form are also UTF-8 encoded ! Not all pages are, and you'll get those wrong chars until you change your pages header to UTF-8.
