Ideas on how to fix garbled message text
- Possible cause
- Encoding issue: Choose the correct the language/encode of message text or auto detect the encode by tools
- PHP utf8_encode() & utf8_decode()
- (optional) convert the current encode to UTF-8
- (optional) Making text wrap to window size
| Approach | Goal | Is Chinese text garbled/encoded? | Sample text |
|---|---|---|---|
| JavaScript decodeURIComponent() Function[1] | "converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet ... " Cited from w3schools | TRUE |
|
| URL Decoder/Encoder[2] | (same as above) | TRUE | (same as above) |
| PHP: serialize - Manual | php Save array in mysql database | FALSE |
