I have been struggling with this process for a while so I could use some help.
I currently have a page where the user can edit his page using TinyMCE.
The workflow is basic: User makes his edit -> submits -> AJAX call to SQL file -> SQL file updates in db.
The problem is that I have to encode/decode the input because when AJAX recieves the data and haves & in the content the data string will fail.. So this is what I have currently:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#edit').click(function () {
var content = escape(tinyMCE.activeEditor.getContent());
$.ajax({
url: "AJAX_edit_information.php",
type: "POST",
data: "content="+content,
success: function (msg) {
//alert('blabla..');
}
});
});
});
The AJAX_edit_information.php contains a few checks and the code which is being used to submit the data is:
$inhoud = html_entity_decode(stripslashes($_POST['content']));
$query = "UPDATE informatie SET inhoud='$inhoud' WHERE id='1'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
Most of the things I tested works so far, except the wierd characters which were encoded.
On the page where i pull the data I have the following code:
$query = "SELECT * FROM informatie";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo html_entity_decode(stripslashes($row['inhoud']));
When I see the text, i get wierd characters like: %u0308, %u0301o, %u0301.. Now is my question, what am I overseeing in my process.. Thanks
