Smarty special character

[hel68c]

Hi,

I want to compare the fields $item with "Prix N�gociable" but smarty did not see the special character �.

{if $item=="Prix N�gociable"}
my code here
{if}

If I change N�gociable for Negociable it work fine.

Does anyone know how to compare the special character?

I do not know why, but it can not recognize the accented character. I tried with othe character and it work.

Ok. it looks like a a smarty variable will hold the character so try this....

{assign var="matchitem" value="Prix N�gociable"}
{if $item==$matchitem}

I was afraid of that.

For the Item variable, besides the value you are trying to match, what are the other possibilities? Maybe we can truncate the value and compare just part of it.

For the moment this is the only solution that I found.

Thanks for your help Lhotch

Im not sure if you understood my previous question.

You are tryong to see if the smarty variable $item is equal to Prix N�gociable

Where is the term Prix N�gociable comming from? I assume its coming from an extra field is that field a drop down that gives the person choices? If so, what arethe other choices BESIDES Prix N�gociable that can be chosen?

Also just to add you may want to have that variable printed to the screen, then view source and see if it is actually: N�gociable or something like N&car;gociable

My site offers a choice of two languages EN and FR. To offer the possibility of FR, I had to create additional tables to allow FR. So the fields are double one for FR and the other for EN.

If the customer place an ad in EN, the options will be displayed in English but the FR client will also see the options in EN. That's why I want to check the fields to bring them in French or in English as appropriate.

Here some photo:

1st = Place a french ad
2nd = View in french template
3rd = View in english template
