Hi,

I am working on an extension, using its own ini-file. In this file, I need to add some info with swedish language characters like Å, Ä and Ö.
Usage like this:

VariableÖ=62
VariableÅ=50

and so on.

I notice, that eventhough the ini file starts with 

<?php /* #?ini charset="iso-8859-1"?

This doesnt work. It seems like the eZIni file handles all existing info in the ini-file as ordinary ASCII.

I have tried to set useTextCodec to true when initializing the eZIni. But that doesnt help.

Is this at all achievable?
Any ideas?

All help is greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
/Nicklas

Hello Nicklas

Only a limited set of characters is allowed in the INI variable names, and eZINI even isn't consistent on this allowed set (see my report: http://ez.no/bugs/view/8770 ).

Hi Kristof,
Thanks for the reply.
However, I solved it by using an array in the ini-file instead, like

MyArray[]
MyArray[VariableÅ]=58

And so on. Then it works, using swedish characters.
