Question

At first I thought it was a database problem related, but after some debug I found out that, for example, when updating a product if I output the $_POST results BEFORE saving in the database, this is what I get:

Array
(
    [product_description] => Array
        (
            [2] => Array
                (
                    [name] => Ergonómica
                    [description] => 
                    [meta_title] => Ergonómica
                    [meta_description] => 
                    [meta_keyword] => 
                    [tag] => 
                )

        )
    ...
)

So, whats being saved is Ergonómica and should be Ergonómica. Doing phpinfo() returns:

default_charset=UTF-8
mbstring.http_output=UTF-8
mbstring.internal_encoding=UTF-8

This is definitely a server/hosting problem as the same project in another server works without any encoding issue, however I have not yet figure it out what seems to be the cause of the bad encoding.

Anyone has any guess? The project was just duplicated from one server to another.

Answer 1

Solved but I don't think this makes much sense..

I grabbed both phpinfo() from the server working without any problem and the server with encoding problem and the only thing different are the mbstring values:

OLD Server (no-utf encoding problems)

New Server (utf encoding problems)

As you can see some values are different and because I have no clue which one is giving me problems, by disabling the extension mbstring in cPanel, everything works now.
