Passing Utf-8 Strings Between Php And Javascript

I'm having problems passing utf-8 strings to javascript (ajax). Currently i'm using rawurlencode on the PHP side and unescape on the javascript side. The problem is in latin and ra

Solution 1:

The solution was in json_encode functions. The problems stopped when i added JSON_HEX_APOS|JSON_HEX_QUOT.

Thanks!

Solution 2:

use json_encode in PHP and receive responses as JSON (jQuery is helpful) ajax is sent in utf-8 by default, so You just have to return utf-8

php's utf8_encode(data) gets an ISO-8859-1 string as the data argument.

need more suggestions? Tell me where You get the text from ;)

Solution 3:

From experience, Javascript's escape() (ant thus unescape()) are not Unicode (UTF-8) friendly. Use encodeURIComponent() and decodeURIComponent() instead.

Anyway, as the docs says:

The escape() function should not be used to encode URIs.

Solution 4:

If php is doing the encoding and js decoding whay not simply not encode in php and encode in js as well? Not really an answer so much as a work around i guess.
