I send TinyMCE input to POST (a php file), then save it in MySQL Database.
The input has UTF-8 (Turkish characters). So when I type Türkçe
inside the TinyMCE input and send it to post, PHP backend receives this string :
<p>Türkçe</p>
How can I convert it back to Türkçe
so I can save it correctly in MySQL ?
P.S.:
MySQL is set to utf8_unicode_ci
collation, so it can save UTF-8 characters correctly.
I need to convert them in PHP, I guess.
Or a way for TinyMCE to send them correctly?
Thanks for any help !
P.S. 2:
I think that this issue is about TinyMCE itself, so I guess the solution will be converting the TinyMCE output (either in TinyMCE javascript, or the receiving PHP script).
i.e. : I don't think changing my PHP configuration is the solution.
P.S. 3
I guess these characters like ü
are the HTML equivalents of Turkish characters, so htmlspecialchars_decode()
should work, but it does not accept Turkish characters. Maybe a way for htmlspecialchars_decode
to decode UTF-8 Characters ?
