Here is the encode whithin my language file:
/* Change the language name and encoding to your own language */
$hesklang['LANGUAGE']='Nederlands';
$hesklang['ENCODING']='ISO-8859-1';
But the script still breaks the € sign, what else could I check? The Demo site works fine?!

Create a ticket and post the link to the problematic ticket to see exactly how the problem looks.

Strange one. No idea what this is. Maybe a server-side security rules of some sort (no idea what)?
As you already know, the demo works fine:
http://www.hesk.com/demo/ticket.php?track=VAVLYNE6PE
Try saving this code as "etest.php", upload to your server, open in browser, submit window and let me know what it says:
Code: Select all
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" />
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="etest.php">
<input type="text" name="euro" value="Here is the test with the € sign!">
<input type="submit">
</form>
<p> </p>
<?php
if (!empty($_POST['euro']))
{
$euro = $_POST['euro'];
echo "POST RESULTS:<br><br>";
echo "Unprocessed: $euro<br>";
$euro = htmlspecialchars($euro);
echo "Process 1: $euro<br>";
$euro = preg_replace('/&(\#[0-9]+;)/','&$1',$euro);
echo "Process 2: $euro<br>";
}
?>
</body>
</html>

Looks good:
POST RESULTS:
Unprocessed: €
Process 1: €
Process 2: €

Is the ISO only in the language file?

Maybe use:
$euro = preg_replace('/&(\#[0-9]+;)/','&$1',$euro);
Before it writes into the MYSQL: € convert to Euro

You should delete the test file.
So it looks like MySQL is the problem. Try adding this line in the inc/common.inc.php file:
Code: Select all
$in = str_replace('€','€',$in);
add it just
below Code: Select all
$in = preg_replace('/&(\#[0-9]+;)/','&$1',$in);

Btw lupolo,
You should look at the code of your hesk footer. Seems the header of your normal pages
Code: Select all
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Footer</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style1 {
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #000000;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center">
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.islonline.net/start/ISLLightClient?custom=ace-europe-nl" class="style1">Remote Support</a></p>
</div>
is added as the footer to your hesk page.
Greetings,
Henrie

Well, this will break the valid xhtml code of the page and could possibly cause troubles with the page in some browers.
There are better ways to add this code to your page, that doesn't break the valid xhtml code.
If it is for the
Remote Support link, you could add the following valid code
Code: Select all
<div>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.islonline.net/start/ISLLightClient?custom=ace-europe-nl" style="font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;">Remote Support</a></p>
</div>

$in = str_replace('¹','¹',$in);
$in = str_replace('²','²',$in);
$in = str_replace('³','³',$in);
$in = str_replace('¼','¼',$in);
$in = str_replace('½','½',$in);
$in = str_replace('¾','¾',$in);
$in = str_replace('°','°',$in);
Because i have problemen with other characters also or is this not possible? What could be the problem that mine not work? My Domein en MySql?

Give it a try. But this is not normal, it must be a problem with your MySQL.
You could also try changing all instances of htmlspecialchars to htmlentities in the common.inc.php file and see if that helps.
