No (Google) map is shown, other citys without unicode characters work fine. I had to urlencode & utf8_decode the name before storing in DB:
$locator_city = $tp->toDB(urlencode(utf8_decode($_POST['locator_city'])));
This way the name is stored as "G%F6teborg". And reverse when printing the city name (except for the link itself), somthing like this:
$text_temp .= " <a href='locator.php?cty.".$row7_locator_city."'>".utf8_encode(urldecode($row7[locator_city]))."</a> ".$divide_char;
Not sure if this makes any sense, i'm sure there's an easier way to do it.. ? /j | ||
