Encoding problem in XML: getReportDetail

[MadJosch]

There seems to be a problem with data encoding when I use the XML function getReportDetail

http://www.fsairlines.net/va_interface. ... _id=995063
Warning: DOMDocument::load() [domdocument.load]: Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding ! Bytes: 0xE4 0x73 0x73 0x74

This applies only for a couple of flight reports. The major part of reports is transferred correctly. Maybe these reports contain something that causes above error message.

I found no solution on my side to "force" a proper encoding.
If needed, I can provide the concerning report id's.

Ok, I will check that. The one report you've given should be enough to debug this problem.

A little info:

as far as I can investigate, my assumption is that in the comment field of the concerning reports some characters are used which are obviously not correctly formatted (not UTF8 maybe).

I hope this helps

Thanks for the info, haven't yet had to time to look at this issue but with your information I just made a quick fix. Does it work now?

The bad news: The pilot's names are now messed up in the reports
e.g.:

Code: Select all

Jörg Klein
Kenan Özün

Maybe they are utf8_encoded twice? I could workaround by utf8_decoding them.

The good news: yes those reports can now be retrieved without error, except one (id=619171)
This one report brings a lot error messages :

Code: Select all

Warning: DOMDocument::load() [domdocument.load]: invalid character in attribute value in http://www.fsairlines.net/va_interface.php5?function=getReportDetail&va_id=5892&report_id=619171

and some more of that kind (PCDATA)

Ok, that should be fixed now.

Yes works smoothily now. Thanks a lot!
