#1 Postby claude » Jul 25, 2009 6:51 am

Hi,

i have the version 3.1 of XUpload PRO.
in index.php i have following code

Code: Select all

<form id="myform" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="http://cycle4.steinsel.net/cgi-bin/upload.cgi" method="post" onSubmit="return StartUpload(this);" accept-charset="UTF-8" >
...
<textarea name="descr" cols="100" rows="8"></textarea>
...
in upload.cgi i have as mentioned in a topic in this forum:

Code: Select all

 	print"Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\n\n"; 
	print qq{<HTML><HEAD><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"></HEAD><BODY><Form name='F1' action='$url_post' target='_parent' method='POST'>};  
and in post.php i have following line:

Code: Select all

echo $_POST['descr']
all files are encoded

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
when i enter in field 'descr' the text "abcäé" , i get in post.php: "abc��"

Have you written in the headers
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
?
