Hi,
I have a problem on storing foreign char to SQL DB.
If user inputs a foreign char from asp page, for example, "ROSÉ", it
will be stored in the DB as "ROSé".
I need to be able to store as it is in the DB, "ROSÉ".
BTW, it is displayed properly in the Web GUI.
Thanks for any help that you can provide,
Charles

You are having a problem with character encoding. The easiest way to fix this problem is to simply replace the É with É the html encoded equivalent before inserting into the database. For a complete list of such encodings visit this page:

The Server object should provide you with some methods to encode and decode characters. Also, make sure the database uses MBCS or Unicode for strings. In SQL Server, this is nvarchar or nchar (which pads extra space with spaces).

Thanks Steve and Heath for your reply.
I found the solution, although it was not obvious at first.
It turns out that web application uses UTF-8 encoding, and SQL uses UCS-2.
This different encoding standard caused the wrong data conversion.
The following article explains the issue:

I hope this helps other people who has similar issue.

I just learned PHP and I am using it in conjunction with mySql. I just wanted to say that php rules. It is really easy. I run a wrestling roleplay site and the members can actually edit there own pages but I dont have to give them a password to my site. They run there own stable bio and things like that so for those of you who have not yet checked out php take a look into it. Also if using php all a person will see when they click on view and source is just whatever html you used which means sometimes they will see nothing at all but if there is something that I am not seeing that php is bad let me know

Round here, a lot of us will be using ASP or ASP.NET, which can do everything you described  And view source always shows the HTML sent to the client, not the PHP/ASP/Whatever on the server.

But why use PHP when you have ASP.NET?
Give one good reason other than slightly cheaper web hosting...
In ASP.NET you can use VB, C#, J# or a combination of all these making it more easy to set up a development team.
Not to mention the top class resource place (MSDN online) where you can find anything you want with examples etc...
Personally, I find the .net platform very developer friendly.

Many people swear by PHP and MySQL - they work great together and are simple to learn and implement. If the tool does the job efficiently, it belongs in your bag of tricks. Many webhosting services don't support it, though, so don't limit yourself to just this pair; learn some ASP/ASP.Net and SQLServer as well.

DX,
I have to agree with the previous posters, ASP.NET has an extended and easy to use method, You call out the System.Namespace.Class and then you build upon that and you get a really cool app that works well. I have written PHP for practice and made that work also, however, Many hosting companys use 2000 Server with IIS 5.0, and now they seem to be leaning towards 2003 Server with IIS 6.0 which allows integration with Visual Studio.NET. I don't want to bag on PHP but it seems that the going thing is VS.NET, all of the things you described are possible with ASP.NET running atop the .NET Framework.
Regards
Tony

There is also the versioning problem. If you code using one version of PHP and deploy to a server that has another version you're in trouble. ASP.NET doesn't have this problem.

XML support is almost non-existant in PHP. It is listed as experimental. XML isn't an experiment any longer it is a powerful and useful tool the ASP.NET and the .NET Framework take full advantage of.
|
|
|
|
|
Not only full advantage, but you can treat XML files almost the same way you treat databases... this is very helpfull in some cases and opens new capabilities for developers...

Many said about PHP here, so I'll say something about MySQL. Guys, I can't imagine a database that has NO support for stored procedures (which is MySQL). All it gives you is tables and that's all. Phhhhh.
Yes, PHP is very powerful scripting language, but has a lack of OOP support. Well yes, you can create kinda "classes" in PHP, but is this ALL you need in OOP? Where is inheritance? Where is protected/private/public members? This is not OOP. Maybe they added it in latest version (5 I guess), I dunno, the last one I worked with was PHP4

I need to redist soap 3.0 in a wise install script(.wse
file).
What are all the dlls that I need to pack in the wise
script?
What keys need I modify in the regedit?
|

If you're using Wise for Windows Installer (if you have it - use it - MSI's are much better), the redist includes a merge module. If not, you'd best check the Wise Solutions web site. They might have a downloadable object you can insert into your setup. If not, you'll have to make your own.
PS: Newer setup IDE's have built-in support for finding pre-canned objects and merge modules. If you have a newer version, try looking under the Tools menu (usually) or consult the documentation for more information.

I need to create more than one text box with the same name(this call array),with the code;
for i = 1 to CInt(request.Form("quantity"))
count = count + 1
serial_field = "serial"&count
end loop
then, when I need to check whether user already fill in this text box, I can not access that text box name.Text box name suppose to be serial1, serial2 and so on.I am using this code;
for (a=o;a<=30;a++){
if (document.Reg.element.serial[a].value == "") {
err = true;
msgstring = "Fill in serial number";
}
}
I can access the value only if I directly use the name like;
if (document.Reg.element.serial1.value == "") {
err = true;
msgstring = "Fill in serial number";
}
Any suggestion what I should do to solve this problem. I am sorry my explanation is quite massy.
Thanks

serial_field = "serial"&count gives all the fields different names - serial1, serial2 etc...
Just use serial_field = "serial";

Ya, that true according to logic but the problem bow, the object(text box) has been created first than we need to check when user click on save button.
How we can refer to the object name?
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not a javascript expert, but you should be able to use
document.all.serial[0].value
document.all.serial[1].value
etc... Hope this helps,

Ya, it suppose can work but I don't know why it can't
Anyway Thanks for your help.

What about after creating serial1, serial2, etc, using
function foo(bar) {<br />
eval('serial'+bar+'.value = ...');<br />
}

This would work if the fields all have the same name (serial in this example). But here the fields include an increasing number so he needs to use:
<br />
for(var i = x; i < y; i++) {<br />
document.formName["serial" + i];<br />
}<br />
where x is the number of the first field and y is the number of the last.

Yeah I know, hence my first reply

Try this:
(Note: Change the 6 in the first "for loop" with your total number of textboxes.)
function fnCheck()
{
var strTextBoxName;
for(var i=1;i<6;i++)
{
strTextBoxName = "serial" + i;
for(var j=0;j<document.f1.elements.length;j++)
{
if(document.f1.elements[j].name==strTextBoxName)
{
if(document.f1.elements[j].value=="")
{
alert("in for : " + strTextBoxName);
//Fill in your error message here
}
}
}
}
}
