Dear Community,
First of all, as a former user of FCKEditor; I've found CKEditor very successful. However, I have a subtle issue that prevents me from using it. I think it is about the encoding. I have been searching about this topic but I haven't found more than some forum topics that are left unanswered.
I am using PHP5 under Apache and MySQL (with charset UTF-8). Furthermore, I am using server-sided configuration of CKEditor and JQuery for ajax posting. The encoding for ajax posting is also UTF-8 and the server sided php files are UTF-8 as well.
The thing is, when I retrieve data from editor (using getData()) in order to perform an ajax post, the data includes unicode control characters for beginning and end of the line.
For instance, while in the editor I have "<p> Hello World!</p>", upon the post the database records the string as
"u000au0009<p>Hello World!</p>
u000a"
I have tried replacing those characters within javascript, converting them to utf-8 and all the crazy hack I could come up with. I haven't been able to solve this issue.
I would be really grateful if someone could post the solution for that, besides; as far as I searched this problem has been encountered a few times before and nobody seems to have resolved it.
Thanks in advance.
