Hi!

To make it easier and input form-data directly into a database, I have enabled database-tracking for a specific form on my website. I decided for the xml-format to export those tracked datasets, however, it is not – as it says – a utf-8-file that is created by cforms (newest version) on wp 2.8.2, but a windows latin 1-file. This leads to problems with umlauts since I am using it on a German-language website.

I have re-tested the file with bbedit to go for sure that it is a windows latin-1-file and when opening it with utf-8 encoding, umlauts are a mess, reopening using windows latin 1 or iso latin 1 shows everything nicely formatted…

Any help? Thank you a lot!

Odd, because on my dev blog it is UTF-8, but then again my blog itself runs on UTF8.

What's your URL?

Just double checked the source and you're right, I happily stand corrected.

This will be fixed in 10.7 (with the option to extract UTF-8 or ISO)

It you need a pre-release, let me know.
