How can I set the MMSText variable in a PHP script to unicode. For example (ASCII) : $mmsMessage = MmsAddField ($mmsMessage, "MMSText", "Hello MMS"); How would I do this with Unicode : (06F106F206F3O6F4) If I do this : $mmsMessage = MmsAddField ($mmsMessage, "MMSText", "06F106F206F3O6F4"); It will obviously send the text 06F106F206F3O6F4 instead of the unicode equivalent | |||

Hi Joel, You have to use UTF-8 encoding for the text. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Can you give me an example of the syntax to do that in a PHP script? | |||

Hi Joel, There is no special syntax, you just enter the text. For example: $mmsMessage = MmsAddField ($mmsMessage, "MMSText", "۱۲۳۴"); The PHP file just needs to be saved in UTF-8 format ... which most editors allow, and which PHP will handle natively. If your editor doesn't support UTF-8, then that is more of a challenge. You'd have to convert to UTF-8 (PHP has character set conversion functions) and URL encode. URL encoding of your example characters would look like this: $mmsMessage = MmsAddField ($mmsMessage, "MMSText", "%DB%B1%DB%B2%DB%B3%DB%B4"); (UTF-8 encoding of 06F1 is the byte sequence DB B1, which URL encodes as %DB%B1.) -- Des NowSMS Support | |||
