Trouble with UTF-8 and PHP-OCI

Hi there!
I'm having some serious trouble with UTF-8. I just tried to insert a lambda into an NCLOB column in one of my databases and it was converted to an inverted question mark. I have verified that the string reaches my PHP script correctly encoded. Also selecting RAWTOHEX(column) in SQL Developer shows, that the inverted question mark is already stored in the column. So the problem must be somewhere between PHP-OCI and the database. Inserting a lambda via SQL developer works. I can also correctly fetch it via PHP.
I'm using the latest PHP-OCI (2.0.8). v$version says "Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production".
The database is fairly old and uses WE8MSWIN1252 as the character set and AL16UTF16 as the NCHAR character set. Hence I'm using NCLOB instead of CLOB. However, I connect to the database with AL32UTF8, since my app is running in UTF-8. I was under the impression that this would result in an automatic conversion from UTF-8 to UTF-16 when inserting into NCLOB columns, but apperently this is not the case. It looks like there is some sort of double conversion, first UTF-8 to WE8MSWIN1252 and then to UTF-16, because some non-ASCII characters like ä (a umlaut) get correctly converted from UTF-8 to UTF-16.
Any ideas? I'm at a loss here. Thanks in advance.

PHP OCI8 doesn't support NCLOB or NVARCHAR2.

British Pound Sterling with UTF-8 and ISO-8859-15

Please excuse my long-windedness ... I'm simply trying to answer all possible questions up front and give the most possible information. I've searched through tons of forums and all over various sites and references and am not able to come up with a concrete solution to this. I'd appreciate any help anyone has.
I'm having some trouble with character sets and international currencies.
Our server was recently upgraded from Red Hat 7.3 to Red Hat 8.0. I understand that the default system encoding thus changed from ISO-8859-15 to UTF-8. I have verified this by executing the following:
public class WhichEncoding {
public static void main(String args[])
    String p = System.getProperty("file.encoding");
    System.out.println(p);
}I have two machines, one which represents the old system (7.3) and one representing the new (8.0), which I will call machine73 and machine80 respectively.
[machine73:~]# java WhichEncoding
ISO-8859-15
[machine80:~]# java WhichEncoding
UTF-8I have also verified that the JVM is using the correct default character set by executing the following:
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
public class WhichCharset {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        String foo = (String)(new OutputStreamWriter(new ByteArrayOutputStream())).getEncoding();
        System.out.println(foo);
}which yields:
[machine73:~]# java WhichCharset
ISO-8859-15
[machine80:~]# java WhichCharset
UTF8Here comes the problem. I have the following piece of code:
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.util.Locale;
public class TestPoundSterling
    public static void main (String[] args)
        NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(new Locale("en", "GB"));
        System.out.println(nf.format(1.23));
}When I compile and execute this, I see mixed results. On machine73, I see what I would expect to see, the British Pound Sterling followed by 1.23. To be sure, I outputted the results to a file which I viewed in a hex editor, and observed [A3 31 2E 32 33 0A], which seems to be correct.
However, when I execute it on machine80, I see a capital A with a circumflex (carat) preceding the British Pound Sterling and the 1.23. The hex editor shows [C2 A3 31 2E 32 33 0A].
I looked up these hexadecimal values:
Extended ASCII
0xC2 = "T symbol"
0xA3 = lowercase "u" with grave
ISO-8859-1
0xC2 = Capital "A" with circumflex (carat)
0xA3 = British Pound Sterling
Unicode Latin-1
0x00C2 = Capital "A" with circumflex (carat)
0x00A3 = British Pound Sterling
(This explains why, when I remove /bin/unicode_start and reboot, I see a "T symbol" and "u" with a grave in place of what I saw before ... probably an irrelevant sidenote).
I found a possible answer on http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#utf-8 under the Examples section. Apparently, a conversion between Unicode and UTF-8 acts differently based on the original Unicode value. Since the Pound Sterling falls between U-00000080 � U-000007FF (using the chart on the mentioned site), the conversion would be (as far as I can tell):
U-000000A3 = 11000010 10101001 = 0xC2 0xA3
This appears to be where the extra 0xC2 pops up.
Finally, to the whole point of this: How can I fix this so that things work as they should on machine80 like they did on machine73. All I want to see at the command line is the Pound Sterling. Getting the 0xC2 preceding the Pound Sterling causes some parts of my applications to fail.
Here's some additional information that might be of use:
[machine73:~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n
LANG="en_US.iso885915"
SUPPORTED="en_US.iso885915:en_US:en"
SYSFONT="lat0-sun16"
SYSFONTACM="iso15"
[machine73:~]# echo $LANG

SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
[machine80:~]# echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8Any help is very, very much appreciated. Thanks.

you didn't look hard enough, this is a faq...
there three options:
1) change the system encoding by setting LANG or LC_CTYPE environment variables... assuming you use bash:bash$ export LC_CTYPE=en_GB.iso88591 you can check the available locales with locale -a ... pipe it to grep en_GB to filter out the non-british english locales
-OR-
2) change the java default encoding from the command line with -Dfile.encoding... run with$ java -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1 yourclass-OR-
3) set the encoding from within the program with OutputStreamWriter, or use a PrintStream that has the encoding set..PrintStream out = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(FileDescriptor.out), true, "ISO-8859-1");
System.setOut(out);see also the internationalization tutorial & the javadoc of the related classes....

Trouble With Opening InDesign and now Photoshop and Illustrator

First off I apologize if this isn't in the correct section. I couldn't find a section specific to my problem since it involves multiple aspects of Adobe products. I was having trouble with InDesign, it kept crashing. So I followed all of the advice I could find on the forums about deleting the preferences and cache information in the Library folder, and that didn't seem to make a difference. So then I thought maybe it needed an update, so I logged into Adobe Application Manager and sure enough, it did. So I clicked on "download" and it stalled there too. Then the manager became unresponsive. I couldn't cancel the update or log out or anything. So then I saw in the forum someone suggested the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool if your manager becomes unresponsive. I ran that and then shut my computer off. When I turned it back on, InDesign started working BUT my Photoshop is completely gone from my system (I never messed with it in the first place since I wasn't having any trouble with it.) And the when I tried to click on Illustrator it said "Do you want to begin your trial?" Huh?
I have had a subscription since 2012, why on earth would it suddenly think that I no longer should have access to these programs? If I log on to my Adobe account it shows my subscription and that it's up to date (last payment was April 5, 2015). The versions I was using were the CS versions that I had downloaded directly from Adobe and when I used to have any trouble or when I got a different computer I could just log into my account and then redownload them. They are no longer showing under my products, so I can't figure out what on earth is going on. The website has changed since the last time I downloaded them, so that partly could be me, but I thought they would at least be showing up under products. I contacted Adobe support and the first person I talked to on chat said "this is clearly a technical issue I am transferring you to someone better suited for this," but that's all he said. And I haven't heard from anyone since so I thought I'd make a topic and see if anyone else out there has had a similar problem.

The versions I am using are the CS6 versions.*

I rented Trouble with the Curve and haven't it yet and I when I went to watch the movie it tells me the file can not be found - please help

Yes, thank you. My apologies, I was typing one handed and did not add that.
Anyway, I have tried deleting the cache, deleting my pics and then re-syncing, etc. and nothing is working This is very frustrating, as I had no problems up until about 2 weeks ago, and now all of a sudden, I have this issue......UGH!

Slight roadblock in "DW 8 with ASP, ColdFusion, and PHP: Training from the Source"

I'm working my way through Dreamweaver 8 with ASP,
ColdFusion, and PHP:
Training from the Source. I've come to the middle of Lesson 6
and have hit
my first obstacle in learning PHP. I'm following the
instructions to format
the output of the tour price calculator, but my issue is with
where to place
the following PHP code: <?php setlocale(LC_MONETARY,
'en_US'); echo
money_format('%i', $tourPrice); ?>
I placed it before the DOCTYPE and when that didn't work, I
tried inserting
right before the code that retrieves the tour price (in the
body of the
page). That didn't work either.
I also tried changing money_format to number_format and
manually inserting
the $, but when I tested everything, the output printed as
follows:
The estimated cost of your tour is
$0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000500.
I'm not quite sure where I've gone wrong.
Thanks for any help,
Heather

Check the PHP documentation - it tells you all you need to

I've no idea what relationship you have with "Training from

but I find it interesting - to say the least - that you need

Having trouble with wav files and sample rates

Hi ,I am having trouble with wav files and sample rates .I have been sent multiple projects on wav as the main instrumental ; I wish to record in 48.000kHz .Now comes the problem.When I try to change the project to 48k It seems to pitch up the track.I can't have them send the logic/project file as most have outboard synths,different plug ins etc.This particular case the producer has recorded the synth task in 41.000 kHz .My successful outcome would be to be able t create a project file in 48 kHz .And NOT pitch up whne I add the instrumenta wav file .Any help would be gratefully recieved,this is my first post so any mistakes I may have made go easy

You'll have to convert the actual synth audio file file that the producer gave you to 48kHz. You can do this in the audio Bin in Logic.

I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store.

I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store. When synching, the process tops at the back up stage, freezes and I can't close the iTunes window, need to ctrl alt del. When trying to access the store, the progress bar stops halfway. I've googled heaps and tried most of the standard answers - unistall, reinstall, etc, now looking for some help please.
This has only started a few weeks back, after working smoothly for the 2 years of owning the iPhone 3gs.
Any suggestions will be appreciated, it's getting realy frustrating.
Cheers for now,

Trouble with internal keyboard and touchpad

Hi,
Yesterday I just out of nowhere started having some trouble with my keyboard and touchpad on my MacBook Air.
The problem displayed itself on various ways. One thing was that I couldn't press regulary with the touchpad. When I was pressing one time, it acted like a pressed with two fingers. When I tried to type in my password on the administrator page, some of the keys didn't work at all and some started to act weird. For example when I was pressing the letter B, the "bar" which displayes where you are in the text (don't know the word in English) went backwards, and when I pressed the letter F it went forward. This seemes so weird and also gives me a hope that it might be some setting failure though B stands for backwards and F stands for forward.
I could log in to the guestpage where I tried to write in "notes". In notes, no letters at all was working, only numbers. When I tried to shut the computer down from the apple symbol I was asked to write administrator name and password. When I tried to mark the name to write it, there wasn't a "bar" but a cross, but on the other hand did it work to write in the password field. But of course not B and F..
Usualy I'd just press the on/off botton until the computer lockdown, unfortunately the botton doesn't work. So the only thing I could do was to let the battery die and hope that it would start when I recharged it and pressed start, this didn't go as well as I hoped, so now I'm stuck with a dead macbook air.
Any ideas of what could be the problem or/and any solutions what might do the trick?
Extremly greatful for any answers

Yes you need to use a wired keyboard.

Trouble with LaCie disk and time machine

HI everyone,
I've been having trouble with using time machine to back-up to my 1 TB LaCie drive (purchased 5/12, unfornuately I was dumb and didn't register the drive and no longer have the box with the serial number and there is no serial number on my drive. The only problem I had up until the end of August was that every so often the LaCie drive (using my FW 800 port) would unmount after waking up from sleep.
The end of August the drive unmounted for no reason while I was on the computer doing a task. Could not get the LaCie drive remounted (rebooting, etc. etc.) To make a long story short, ended up calling apple care who took me through resetting my SMC and PRAM to no avail. Was booted to higher level of support who walked me through trying to repair my drive using the disk utiltiy. When that didn't work, she walked me through erasing and reformatting the LaCie drive and starting a new time machine back-up. Every thing ok until about ten days ago.
Last week, when I woke my iMac up from sleep, I got an error saying that the disk was not ejected properly and I could not mount the drive. Restarting did nothing, the disk did not mount. Shutting down and rebooting seemed to solve the problem and the disk was mounted. Every so often I've had the problem with the disk unmounting after waking up from sleep before. So, I changed my energy sleep preferences. At the end of the day when I am done, I'd unmount the LaCie drive before putting the Mac to sleep using the apple menu.
Today I came in to start my day, plugged the drive in and it would not mount. Tried rebooting nothing. Went into the disk utility, at first the LaCie drive passed the disk verify (6:26:25 and 6:26:38). Then I went into repair disk on the indented drive at 6:27:13, I wasn't sure what it is was doing, thinking that it had hung, I stopped the repair at 6:27:24. Exited disk utility, and the LaCie drive mounted. But I was getting a read only error when I tried to back-up using time machine. So, I went back into disk utility at 6:27:35, when I verified the disk (indented disk), I got an error saying the disk need to be repaired. After several minutes the disk could not be repaired. So, I erased and reformatted the drive. Ran a time machine back-up and it seemed to back-up everything on my hard drive. Just ran another verify disk and it passed.
Is the drive failing? Have some other back-ups of my documents, my address book, iCal and am going to make a backup of some of my pref files and important e-mail files and am going to do some more back-ups after I am done.
Have reached out to the women at apple care whom I talked to last August, but don't expect to hear back from her for at least 24 hours.
Here is my disk utility log

I just got a call back from the upper level support person at apple care who had been advising me on my trouble with time machine and my LaCie 1 TB FWD. I had sent her much of the same verbiage as I posted here. As some of you have probably figured out, the verdict is that the drive is probably failing. She says this because I have had to do two erase and reformats. She thought that the intermitant problem that I have had with the drive unmounting when my iMac wakes from sleep could be related to the drive failing.
In the meantime I have a secondary back-up (not using time machine) and the LaCie 1 TB FWD is working for the moment.
Thanks to all who read all my verbiage.
And in the meantime, I've learned something. I marked this question as solved. But I'm open to other things to try.

Missing File - Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion, and PHP

On page 263 of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion,
and PHP by:Jeffrey Bardzel and Bob Flynn the file called
countryDetailXML.asp is missing. How can I find that file? Any
idea?
Thanks for your help.

@citaiz,
That file is created earlier in the lesson in an exercise
starting on page 257. For the sake of the lesson, you can use
countryDetail.xml that is included in the lesson 09 start folder.
It is not important for this lesson that the XML is a static file
or one generated in real time from the database. The version of
Spry (1.4) that shipped with DW CS3 used XML data only. The current
version (1.6.1) can use JSON and HTML tables for the data source as
well. You can get the latest version of Spry for free at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/,
including an extension to update your copy of DW to the latest
version.

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP coldfusion and PHP search?

I am working through Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP
coldfusion and PHP with the intent of creating a data base site
that primarily requires a search engine on the index page. The
search page in the book uses specific search criteria ensuring that
there will always be a match to the data base but I need to create
an input text field search engine. My Q, if there is no data within
the data base that match the variable, will it return with an error
requiring an argument in the code to respond to no matching data.
Hopefully there are comprehensive online recourses for these search
engines as they are so common. I am a complete newby to all aspects
of web development and code so it will need to be a thorough
explanation, an idiots guide. ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED

Rob,
Let me try to answer your questions, understanding that my
answers are laced with my experience and therefore my bias.
1. For the most part the SQL that you write for Access, MS
SQL or MySQL is going to be the same. I won't make that claim about
Oracle or PostgreSQL because I have limited or no experience in
those areas. To be sure when you head down the road with any DBMS
there are finer points on 'value added' features (to over simplify
things like MS SQL's Transact SQL), but for the most part when you
are pulling out, inserting or deleting records the SQL that you
write will be the same. In fact, I don't think I had to make any of
the SQL in the book different to deal with the back end db.
2. As for your host steering you away from MySQL, I don't
know why that would be. It is MUCH more stable and robust than
Access for web development. My research showed that you can use
MySQL just fine with ASP though that clearly wouldn't be
Microsoft's first choice.
3. A quick aside, the fact that you are building ASP on a Mac
would seem to indicate that you are developing on your production
server. That's never a good idea. Go local if you can. If you have
a newer Intel Mac you can use VM Fusion, Parallels or even Boot
Camp to run Windows in a virtual environment and develop there,
only moving your code to production when you are happy with it.
There is of course the fact that they two environments would not be
identical and you may need to change a few references, but it is
still a better practice than developing on your live site. Some web
hosts give you the ability to set up a subdomain. If yours does,
you could set one up with a duplicate of your site and develop
there.
4. Let me try to pull your 'rant-let' apart into two issue. I
begin with a question. I'm not sure what the Mac part has to do
with it. The primary language I work in at my day job is
ColdFusion. The majority of the most serious developers I know in
the CF world work on Macs. I am forced into the PC world because of
a cultural bias at the business school where I work. Having said
that, the only time I have felt there was ANY difference in the
tools, resources, choices I had was in any way affected by platform
was when Adobe still had not released Flex Builder 2 for the Mac.
Now that is behind us as well. This reaction of mine may be based
on the fact that Access never comes into play in the work that I
do. I regularly work with MS SQL and MySQL. (OK, so SQL Enterprise
Manager, the MS tool of choice to talk to MS SQL is Windows only,
but I only use that at the day job. But even there you can find
cross-platform, free tools like Aqua Data Studio to talk from a Mac
to MS SQL.) If I'm missing your point on the Mac, please let me
know. Since the advent of the Intel Mac I think it is hands-down
the best choice for a web developer. You can have Mac, Windows and
Unix all on one machine. It doesn't get any better (providing you
have the RAM :-)).
As for the security question, it is somewhat analogous to the
war on viruses and spyware. As the defenses get better, so do the
attacks. Most languages have developed functions for vetting user
input variables and best practices for building these things. It is
mainly a user education issue. When I took over the book you are
working out of, the one thing Jeffrey told me it needed was more
security. I did my best to put more in under the constraints of the
publisher. They didn't want the book to be any longer than the
previous version. I did my best to modify the code used to include
"string safe" functions and to add verbiage about the importance of
security. It was clear that I could not add as much as was needed
and I said so in the book. Much more is needed for a serious
treatment of the subject and not acknowledging that would have been
a disservice to the readers. I've been working as a developer for
over a decade and I don't know all there is to know about it. It's
a constantly changing field, just like all of web development. In
fact next week I'm going through a 2-day SANS Web Application
Security workshop in hopes of learning more. So at the risk of
sounding like an industry apologist, I don't think it's a
shortcoming of the development community. It is, as they say, "a
developing situation".

TS3999 Help! Trouble with my calendar and icloud.

I am having trouble with my calendar and icloud.
Customers send me meeting invites and I can accept them no problem. But if they subsequently change the date or time I get an error message:
Access to “appointment name” in “Home” in account “iCloud” is not permitted.
The server responded:
“403”
to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation
sometimes the time changes in my calendar, sometimes it doesn't, and my customers keep getting messages back from icloud 'accepting' the original date, not the changed date!!
It is driving me an my clients crazy! any help would be appreciated.

I had a problem specific to the Calendar on web-based Firefox (PC) Was asked for a separate sign-in I'd never seen before which didn't work. I resolved this by signing out, signing in again.

The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP by David Powers

The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and
PHP by David Powers:
Would this book help me learn about Spry and Ajax and how
applications can be made with them, if I my e-commerce site runs on
a compiled C code shopping cart (ShopSite) but supports PHP
server-side scripts or is it only for shopping carts based on PHP
itself (like X-Cart)?
I am not sure. Someone please let me know so I can purchase
this book. Thanks.

You don't need any prior knowledge of Ajax or PHP, but you do
need to
know the basics of HTML and CSS. As I say in the
introduction, "You
don't need to be an expert, but you do need to have an
inquiring mind.
It doesn't teach the basics of web design, nor does it
attempt to list
every single feature in Dreamweaver CS3. There are plenty of
other books
to fill that gap. However, by working through this book,
you'll gain an
in-depth knowledge of the most important features of
Dreamweaver."

e-commerce sites, right?
The book provides detailed coverage of the Spry 1.4 features
in
Dreamweaver CS3, which can be applied to any site. With minor
adaptation, you can also use Spry 1.6. It's important to
realize,
though, that the Spry/Ajax features in Dreamweaver CS3 do
*not* cover
asynchronous requests to the server. The ability to
communicate
asynchronously with the server was added in Spry 1.6. If it's
asynchronous server calls and responses that you're after,
your
programmer will need to dig around in the Spry 1.6
documentation on the
Adobe Labs site, and hand-code it.
The Spry features covered in the book are Spry Effects, Spry
UI widgets
(menu, accordion, tabbed panels, and collapsible panels),
Spry
Validation Widgets, and Spry XML Data Sets.

Yes. All the Spry techniques can be used on any web page. It
doesn't
need to be a PHP one.

As you can see above it first loads the intel module and then goes on to try and load all the faulty ones. KDE still starts without any fuzz and I think gnome does too I am however trying to test XMonad out and it only goes into a black screen with a pointer, and when I terminate and it seems that this is to blame.
And when I terminate the Xmonad session with alt+shift+q xorg has outputted the following:
xauth: creating new authority file /home/vesz/.serverauth.1522
This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation.
It is not supported in any way.
Bugs may be filed in the bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/.
Select the "xorg" product for bugs you find in this release.
Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions please check the
latest version in the X.Org Foundation git repository.

Maybe fbcon to blame? or is that just something that is apart of fbdev. I am also using KMS with 'options i915 modeset=1' to get native resolution in console if that might have something to do with this.
Thanks, hope I didn't post too much worthless stuff
EDIT: This is the way xmonad works, I didn't load anything in config still I think all the failed module loads are rather annoying and would like to get rid of them if anyone knows how.

What is on the command line for your kernel in your grub configuration file? (/boot/grub/menu.lst)
For Intel chips, when using mode setting and drm, Intel provides its own frame buffer that is not compatible with any other frame buffer (VGA, VESA, NG, etc...)
Do not specify any video settings on the kernel command line. No video=... , No VGA= ..., nothing.
After the kernel loads, the Intel frame buffer should start about the same time as the first kernel modules get loaded. There is a good article at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_Graphics
If the frame buffer doesn't start, see the bit about Early Start.
Good Luck
Edit:
After reading your problem more closely, I may have misunderstood. The problem with the black screen after logout is not the fault of trying to load the other, non-existent drivers. It is due to a bug in KDM. The black screen does not occur with GDM. (Personal Aside:Unfortunately I cannot abide the look of GDM)
As a work around, edit /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and find the block labeled :
[X-:*-Core]
and add a line that reads:
TerminateServer=true
The black screen is preceded by an xorg-crash. The terminate-server causes KDM to kill any existing server at log out and start anew (originally this was to manage memory leaks)
