Hello,

I'm using FM7 Server Advanced and FX.PHP on a Mac. One of my web pages is occasionally giving the user an error 958 when the page is submitted. I've figured out that this happens when the user copies and pastes data from Word into one of the fields. Special characters like the trademark symbol will result in this error.

I can't prevent users from doing this: because of the nature of the data that the field requires, some of them will be copying and pasting from somewhere else.

Is there anything I can do to allow these characters to go through without generating an error message? I tried stripslashes, but that didn't help.

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

If only we could control what the users did!

Aside from that, you can make sure the page submitting the data has the correct charset.

Add

to the top of the page. This should allow the word contents to be submitted correctly.

Another lesson I learned last week was that in addition to what Andy said about the character set.

Make sure that your apache or IIS is also set to the correct character set.

Thank you, both of you, so much! That worked:)
