On line Overview: An android application is sends a text to the server side PHP component using Yiic framework which does required processing, authorization and sends back a response.
Problem :
Behavioural change occurs when the android device sends Japanese text to the aforesaid server side component. Yii::app()->request->getParam(‘textEntered’, ‘’) fetches only ‘???’ and the encoding type is ASCII.
Further encoding it using ‘mb_convert_encoding’ has not effect.
In case of single byte alphanumeric characters it receives the desired text.
Is there a setting file where we can set the encoding to UTf-8 ?
It is strange because when a web client of this same server side component sends single/multi byte text, all character types can be handled.
Being a newcomer to Yiic framework this might be a newbie question. Please, suggest.
Thanks in advance.
