encoding problems

[anakreonmejdi]

Hello all.
I had a problem which I belive it displayes a short-comming
of cpaint.

I set from the front-end the response type into text.
Then from the back-end I set the data of the cpaint object
($cp->set_data(Some Greek Text..).
The problem was that the text was not returned in the
front-end.

I thought of using the method set_enconding. This method
however belongs to class cpaint_node.
The solution was that I created a dummy node and used
the node's set_encoding method. After that it worked fine.

Since the cpaint object does have a set_data method,
I think it should have a set_encoding as well (and I'd
suggest that the encoding set by the cpaint's set_encoding
should be used by default from the cpaint_node objects).

The method start does accept an encoding but in this way
I can not use a different encoding for each registered function.


The method I propose is:
function set_encoding($enc) {
        $this->basenode->set_encoding($enc);
}

Best regards.

The backend uses UTF-8 encoding, which is essentially universal.  Try
using UTF-8 as the content type of your frontend web page.  Take a
look at http://cpaint.net/examples/encoding/index.html.  It's a demo
where we show a few different character sets, including Greek.

Thanks,
Paul
