Invalid character caused by utf8_encode

[maisoui]

Hi,

My xml contains invalid characters due to the use of utf8_encode in method Data::getContent(). Example : "München" becomes "München" and request will be rejected by bank server.

Is it really necessary to use utf8_encode?

Best regards

I think that this utf8_encode is used because XML encoding is utf8.

@maisoui if you find, that utf8_encode is breaking the request, then I think we can remove encoding.

[maisoui]

In case of code and passed string is already in unicode, utf8_encode will break the request. I will try to add an encoding detection before utf8_encode.

[andrew-svirin]

No need. Because we generating document in the code. Thus we already know it encoding.

[andrew-svirin]

This utf8_encode was added specially for values with umlauts.

[maisoui]

I guess this litlle snippet can do the job.

//ensure content is unicode encoding if (!mb_check_encoding($content, 'UTF-8')) { $content = utf8_encode($content); }

(will be included in my incoming pull request)

Better to shift the logic for encoding values into Transfer document builder.

[maisoui]

agree

fixed in #146 :)

Tested with real transactions for all umlauts:
