    Default Re: french funny characters

    Did searching, I think its my paypal IPN. I have two websites on the same domain , each site has its own direcrory on the same server with two separate database on the same server.
    Could this be it..
    Example: site1 (which works) has http://domain name/ ipn_main_handler.php
    site2 (doesn't work) has http://domain name/french/ ipn_main_handler.php

    How can I get around this?

    Default Re: french funny characters

    Ok.. found out..it works if i take first option Xpresspost , this option has no funny characters. If I take the other two options with funny characters it doesn't work, meaning it doesn't go to the next step.
    How can I fix this.. is this Canada Post module or something else

    Is it possible my problem is the the database. I basically, for the French site made a copy of the English database then renamed it for the French SQL database.
    Any input is appreciated...

    Default Re: french funny characters

    When I changed the language default to english from french, problem is gone..
    When I place it back to french as default the funny characters on the canadapost page returns..
    The database, MySQL connection collation is set to utf8_general.ci and the creation table on database operation is set to Latin1_swedish_ci

    Need some input

    Well found a solution from this forum.. Not sure if this problem is from Canada Post server or candapost.php script.
    My solution.. fix.. for now is to, forced the canadapost module to always use english instead of the current language in canadapost.php.

    I replaced this line :
    $this->language = (in_array(strtolower($_SESSION['languages_code']), array('en', 'fr'))) ? strtolower($_SESSION['languages_code']) :MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LANGUAGE;

    by this line :
    $this->language = 'en';
