I need to create folders on the server using a name the clients save=20 through a form. Then clients upload images, and the Imagemagick make its=20 manipulations. (no problem yet) My problem is if people use non ASCII caracters like : =E9=E0=EF or Because then [MOVEFILE] won't process, so neither Imagemagik... So I created a database to convert chars =E0=3Da; =EF=3Di; =E9=3De but when I apply the ascii convert I get very strange character back=20 like : i?i?i?i? I use UTF8 encoding in the pages and the same for the database. I tried to append the name of the folder in the db replacing the non=20 ascii characters ®ate_url=3D[ConvertChars db=3D^ascii.db][Nom_regate][/ConvertChars] but instead of =EF=F4=E9=E0 I have in the db:i?i?i?i? and I would like io= ea... I found a solution using [grep] but it's not very clean, and I need to=20 apply plenty of [grep] for each kind of character... As any body got an idea of what can be wrong or any other solution...

here is my problem...
I need to create folders on the server using a name the clients save through a form. Then clients upload images, and the Imagemagick make its manipulations. (no problem yet)
My problem is if people use non ASCII caracters like : éàï or <spaces>
Because then [MOVEFILE] won't process, so neither Imagemagik...

So I created a database to convert chars
à=a; ï=i; é=e
but when I apply the ascii convert I get very strange character back like : i�i�i�i�
I use UTF8 encoding in the pages and the same for the database.
I tried to append the name of the folder in the db replacing the non ascii characters
&regate_url=[ConvertChars db=^ascii.db][Nom_regate][/ConvertChars]
but instead of ïôéà I have in the db:i�i�i�i� and I would like ioea...

I found a solution using [grep] but it's not very clean, and I need to apply plenty of [grep] for each kind of character...

As any body got an idea of what can be wrong or any other solution...
