Search with special characters

  • Hello,
    I have trouble with search parameter in shortcodes when using special (i.e. polish) characters. To my best of knowledge [cfdb-table form="dodaj_pacjenta" search="B?k" orderby="Submitted"] gives no results (incorrect), but usage of:
    [cfdb-table form="dodaj_pacjenta" search="BĄk" orderby="Submitted"] gives correct results. However I’m still not able to search any string with special/polish characters harvested from GET or POST.

    My attempts:
    1. I tried to use htmlentities() on search string with no effect.
    2. I have created a function to produce entitites manually with no effect:
    $output = str_replace("?", "Ą", $output);
    3. I tried to use do_shortcode() (using insert_php plugin) with and without htmlentities() with no effect. Example: [insert_php]echo do_shortcode('[cfdb-table form="dodaj_pacjenta" search="$_GET(szukaj)" orderby="Submitted"]');[/insert_php] or [insert_php]$szuka = $_GET["szukaj"]; $szukaj = htmlentities($szuka); echo do_shortcode('[cfdb-table form="dodaj_pacjenta" search="'. $szukaj .'" orderby="Submitted"]');[/insert_php].

    Could you please help me?
    Best regards.

    As I wrote this post I realized what the problem is. Everything works fine with special characters. The system understands that A is the same as a (and shows correct results), but do not understand that ? is the same as ?.
