Nicklas Lundgren	Tuesday 08 August 2006 6:30:06 am Hi, I am working on an extension, using its own ini-file. In this file, I need to add some info with swedish language characters like Å, Ä and Ö. Usage like this: VariableÖ=62 VariableÅ=50 and so on. I notice, that eventhough the ini file starts with <?php /* #?ini charset="iso-8859-1"? This doesnt work. It seems like the eZIni file handles all existing info in the ini-file as ordinary ASCII. I have tried to set useTextCodec to true when initializing the eZIni. But that doesnt help. Is this at all achievable? Any ideas? All help is greatly appreciated. Best regards, /Nicklas Nicklas Lundgren, Managing Director Novitell AB, Sweden

Then it works, using swedish characters. Best regards, /Nicklas Nicklas Lundgren, Managing Director Novitell AB, Sweden

Hi,

I am working on an extension, using its own ini-file. In this file, I need to add some info with swedish language characters like Å, Ä and Ö.
Usage like this:

VariableÖ=62
VariableÅ=50

and so on.

I notice, that eventhough the ini file starts with

<?php /* #?ini charset="iso-8859-1"?

This doesnt work. It seems like the eZIni file handles all existing info in the ini-file as ordinary ASCII.

I have tried to set useTextCodec to true when initializing the eZIni. But that doesnt help.

Is this at all achievable?
Any ideas?

All help is greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Hello Nicklas

Only a limited set of characters is allowed in the INI variable names, and eZINI even isn't consistent on this allowed set (see my report: http://ez.no/bugs/view/8770 ).

Hi Kristof,
Thanks for the reply.
However, I solved it by using an array in the ini-file instead, like

MyArray[]
MyArray[VariableÅ]=58

And so on. Then it works, using swedish characters.
