[kronolith] now: UTF-8 (i.e. german 'umlauts')

[Niels Dettenbach]

Thanks,


i solved it by writing my own PHP wrapper whichs sends me JSON to my python 
script.

I've found here that
$events = Horde_RPC::request(
         'jsonrpc',
	...
        );
is producing incorrect UTF-8 data - most fields which are using non ASCII 
chars (i.e. german 'umlauts") are completely empty.

The RPCXML interface seems not to have that problems (but i have others with 
it - i.e. recurring events).

The umlauts are still there and the data fields intact.


see here for examples:
(with working umlaut in title)

(empty description fields on records with non ASCII-chars in description)
http://radio.syndicat.com:8888/horde/rpc_programmplan.php

The interesting thing is that it works for some string with 'umlauts' - but 
just a very few and then in the title field only.

Is there any way to solve that or go around here? I've heard about that 
problem several times but no solution here...

many thanks and
cheers,


Niels.
