Hi,
I am using the application to develop applications in Arabic language, but the arabic text within the HTML codes displays as question marks.
The text is being displayed properly in the browser.
What could be the reason behind that?

I have only tried 2010 and have no idea if 2008 will work.Karlis wrote:Did the text show allright in version 2008 or you just tried 2010?

You are right, when I 1st type my text, it is displayed properly and even being saved properly. But when I save the file, close rapid PHP and open the file again, the arabic text is changed to the question marks and if I save the file, the arabic text is changed to question mark.

Re: Arabic text in Rapid PHP 2010
Did you set UTF-8 encoding when saving the file? (default is ANSI, if you haven't changed it in Preferences) It is important to set UTF-8!

I have tried using the SIL editor to edit the ANSI setting, but found too many charset to be changed and did not want to miss around.
Can you please advise?

Re: Arabic text in Rapid PHP 2010
The bug with UTF-8 has been corrected. You can now paste in arabic text, save and load files, providing you have set UTF-8 encoding.
You do not need SIL editor, it is only needed for localization purposes (translating the software interface).

So, do I need to download the new version? or, is there an automatic update/download?

Make sure your version is 10.0.0.117; you must re-download and re-install.
Re: Arabic text in Rapid PHP 2010
I'm using the trial version of Webuilder 2010 and like it very much. But I have the same problem, only concerning Georgian language. When I type Georgian text i get question marks on the screen. But if I open the file which was edited previously in any other editor the Georgian letters do appear.
When pasting Georgian text everything is OK.
So the problem is only when typing.
I save the files in utf-8 without BOM encoding. I'm using windows 7 and the Georgian keyboard layout was already installed in windows.
I've tried Webuilder 2008 as well - the same problem. I've tried also on different computers with XP and Vista and the problem remained.
I'm usin the following html with charset meta tag:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> ...

Re: Arabic text in Rapid PHP 2010
This is a different problem and we have not yet figured out why with all other languages all is fine but with Georgian there have been problems. So far without any luck.kote wrote:I'm using the trial version of Webuilder 2010 and like it very much. But I have the same problem, only concerning Georgian language.

Re: Arabic text in Rapid PHP 2010
Thank you for a reply. I suppose there is a problem with a font. I had the same problem with NetBeans (i used consolas font), when I switched to sylfaen (which supports georgian language) everything showed properly. But sylfaen is not a monospaced font. I searched for monospaced unicode font which supports georgian and have found one called "Everson Mono". However I can't add new fonts in Webuilder. So, if you can tell me the way to add my new installed Everson Mono font I'll try to type something and will notify you about the results.
P.S. Everson Mono worked fine with NetBeans, so may be here is the same problem

Re: Arabic text in Rapid PHP 2010
I do not thing that it is a font problem, because as you said, when you open already saved file, all is ok, right? The problem is in keyboard input (keyboard layout). It is very strange.
