Question

I’m trying to program a Hebrew site with a search option.
(old site and the charset of this site is windows-1255)
I am using php 5.2 with Apache 2.2, on a Debian 5 (Lenny) with
appropriate code pages enabled.

I am using _POST to pass arguments to a script. If I pass
English word to the script everything works, but when I use Hebrew
nothing is passed through the POST function. When I use ECHO
to show _POST, the variable is empty.

What might be the problem?

P.S. this is old site that worked fine on PHP 4 with debian 4, and the problem arised only
after we upgrade to PHP5+debian5.

Answer 1

thanks guys , its my fault

the problem solve !

we have a class filter that recognize that is in php5
and run

filter_var($this->source[$var], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING, (FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_LOW | FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_HIGH));

and this sanitize the hebrew chars post to empty .!
