Wrong Encoding for values #8

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
In version 2.11, the line 771 decides whether or not a string is ascii
encoded or not. As it seems this is not working reliably, for only UTF16LE
strings are "decoded" to the requested defaultEncoding.

My workaround/hack for now is to replace line 771 with this:

$retstr = ($asciiEncoding) ? iconv('cp1250', $this->_defaultEncoding,
$retstr) : $this->_encodeUTF16($retstr);

I'm not fully convinced using an hardcoded encoding of cp1250 is a good
idea but it seems to work in my testcase.

I can confirm this works for me too going to UTF-8. It doesn't seem to matter 
if it
is cp1250 or ISO-8859-1. Now it seems to me that there should be a function 
similar
to _encodeUTF16 to support iconv or mb_convert_encoding. Attached is a sample 
file
you can test it with.

Hi. This project is very good and useful. I have problem with the last version 
2.21.

I correct it. Sorry for post. Just change the line 635 with 
$val = htmlentities($val,ENT_NOQUOTES, 'Windows-1251'); 

Now everything works fine. Thanks and best regards for great job on this 
project!

If you set this "default" encoding to cp1250 it looks like everyting works, but 
there
is problem with some special character sets like RUSIAN, which can not be 
encoded by
CP1250. So when you have document with more encodings (like attachment) it is
impossible to read it properly

I think my patch in #31 should cover this issue as well.

I encountered the same issues when dealing with both utf-8 and cyrillic 
character sets.

I came up with the following patch for the value() function - interested in 
people's thoughts on this.

answer #1 worked for me.

this was suggested in 2009 - is this project not supported anymore?

I can confirm that the code suggested in #1 works for me as well and that 
'cp1250' works even if the string is technically encoded with ISO-8859-1 (or 
Windows-1252? ... n-tilde is \0xF1).

I hope it's the same problem as I had: In excel_reader2.php on line 824, replace

$val = htmlentities($val);

with

$val = htmlentities($val, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');

File excel_reader2.patch-cp1251.php works for me in cp1251 (e.g. 'ľ'). Thank 
you!
