PHP dont write accents

Question

My code generates a message that I get them with file_get_contents. However, this message can be, eventually, have accents in some words, like á, ã, ç...

The PHP change this accented characters to special characters, like a ç. Ok, this not cause some problem.

However, the whatsapp dont read &cedil, for example and this message will be truncate.

How I change the codes like $ccedil; for ç in a PHP variable on by fast way?


$fim = file_get_contents($pedidoaux);

header("Location: http://api.whatsapp.com/send?1=pt_BR&phone=WHATSAPPNUMBER&text=$fim");

URLs can only contain ASCII characters. For anything else, you need to encode them. Use urlencode().

header("Location: http://api.whatsapp.com/send?1=pt_BR&phone=WHATSAPPNUMBER&text=" . urlencode($fim));

`&ccedil` comes from `htmlentity()`. Why are you doing that? – Barmar Jun 22 '22 at 20:58
