Question: currency formatting and charset

Hi!

I'm trying to get a formatted currency, but the currency
symbol is
misrepresented; my character set is ISO-8859-1 but the
symbol appears
to be in UTF-8. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Snippet:

<?php

require_once('Zend/Currency.php');
require_once('Zend/Debug.php');

class TestController extends Zend_Controller_Action {

    public function indexAction() {
       
$this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender();

        ini_set('default_charset', 'ISO-8859-1');

        // Uncomment to get the correct results
        // ini_set('default_charset', 'UTF-8');

        // Expected: ISO-8859-1
        // Actual: ISO-8859-1
       
Zend_Debug::dump(iconv_get_encoding('internal_encoding'));

        $currency = new Zend_Currency('nl_NL'); // Dutch

        // Expected: € 120,45
        // Actual: € 120,45
        Zend_Debug::dump($currency->toCurrency(120.45));

        // Expected: ISO-8859-1
        // Actual: UTF-8
       
Zend_Debug::dump(iconv_get_encoding('internal_encoding'));
    }
}

?>

Thanks!

The complete framework is based (or should be) upon UTF-8.
Just convert the output from UTF-8 to your wished encoding.

But you should expect problems, as many characters,
including some currency 
symbols, are only available within UTF-8.

Using multilingual components it is highly recommended to
use UTF-8 as 
default encoding for the complete application.

There is no Euro symbol in ISO-8859-1.

nico

I knew there was something suspicious...
ISO-8859-15 is with euro sign. 

Thank you Nico
