Hi,

I have encoding problem with adding HTML into docx document. I'm using UTF-8 editor, so input is properly UTF-8 encoded. When I try this code:
[code]
$docx = new CreateDocx();
$docx->addText("ěščřžýáíéé");
$docx->createDocx("test");
[/code]
Text is [i]properly[/i] encoded. But when I try this example:
[code]
$docx = new CreateDocx();
$docx->addHTML("<b>ěščřžý</b>áíéé");
$docx->createDocx("test");
[/code]
It is non-properly encoded like on this image:
[img]http://projekty.mujserver.net/Bugreports/PHPDocx/WordScreenshot1.png[/img]

So question is simple: [b]How to set encoding to UTF-8 in "word/html"?[/b]

PS: Temporary workaround:
[code]
$docx = new CreateDocx();
$docx->addHTML(iconv("UTF-8","Windows-1250","<b>ěščřžý</b>áíéé"));
$docx->createDocx("test");
[/code]

------------
Using PHP 5.3.1, PHPDOCX v2.3

[code]$docx->setEncodeUTF8();[/code] doesn't help you ?

No, it activates utf8_encode function = Encodes an ISO-8859-1 string to UTF-8 (source: PHP documentation). And I have UTF-8 encoded string on input.

So problem in other words is:
->addText() accepts UTF-8 strings
->addHtml() accepts Windows-1250 encoded HTML (default in IE)

:-)

I found simple solution.
[code]$docx = new CreateDocx();
$docx->addHTML(
"<head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></head><body><b>ěščřžý</b>áíéé</body>"
);
$docx->createDocx("test");[/code]

Is possible to put it into official source?

Hi,

We're going to check this issue to be solved in the next version of phpdocx pro.
