decode UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1

[plarts]

I am using the Google Maps API, it return in utf-8,

so for some countries, caracters are wrong,

My server is ISO-8859-1

So, how to convert the result from utf-8 to iso-8859-1 ?

I tried :

<cfprocessingdirective pageEncoding="UTF-8">
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<cfset setEncoding("URL", "UTF-8")>
<cfset setEncoding("FORM", "UTF-8")>

and

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

No change. always the wrong caracters,

Thanks for any help with this mess.

Pierre.

But your ColdFusion is not necessarily using the same charset as your server.

Which version of CF are you using? If you are using CF 5 or older, forget it. If later, it should work out of the box if you use the appropriate charset attributes everywhere. Can you explain a bit more about the processing code?

Hi!

Try this trick:

<cfsript>
s="your_text";
chr_current="your_current_charset";
chr_new="your_new_charset";
c=createobject("java", "java.lang.String").init(s);
convstring=createobject("java", "java.lang.String").init(c.getbytes(chr_current),chr_new).tostring();
</cfscript>

I am using CF v7.

My server and CF are ISO-8859-1.

But I am using Google Maps API , which returns country names in UTF-8.

I tried the Google Maps directives, with adding parameter eo=ISO-8859-1 in the Google Key <script>,

same result.

Then  I have to convert to ISO-8859-1 , at least in that page for country names.

(I have a specific problem with Thailande, Google Maps returns :  Tha๏lande

and in the data base it writes : tha&#3663 ;lande   (an Access database)

I answer to injun [576871]  ,

Diificult to insert that code, because I am in a JavaScript code already.

So it will not accept <cfscript> again inside ? I will try.

Thanks for any help.

I answered by mail, and the code has not appeared

.

here is the code used :

<cfoutput>
before : #form.pays#<br>
<cfscript>
s="#form.pays#";
chr_current="utf-8";
chr_new="ISO-8859-1";
c=createobject("java", "java.lang.String").init(s); convstring=createobject("java", "java.lang.String").init(c.getbytes(chr_current),chr_new).tostring();
</cfscript>
after : #convstring#<br>
</cfoutput>

Thanks for any help.
