It's really pretty obnoxious. &nbsp;It would be great if eEye would allow you to specify a particular character set and would provide proper escaping for, say, UTF-8. &nbsp;However, there are several known exploits for Unicode, which is why Unicode gets blocked by default in SecureIIS. &nbsp;Unfortunately, it's an either/or situation; if you want em and en dashes, you may be opening yourself to potential exploits.<br />

Our server uses SecureIIS for security, and it has a function where it screens all POST variables from forms for special characters. &nbsp;I have several content management forms on my site that need to be able to accept en-dash and em-dash characters but SecureIIS kicks out an error whenever it receives one of these because it thinks it's malicious. &nbsp;Does anyone know if there is a configuration setting in SecureIIS anywhere where I can specify &quot;safe&quot; characters?

Special Characters in Form Fields blocked by SecureIIS

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
