Hi all, I know some of you have used Clickatell to send SMS.
I'm trying to send a £ in the URL, but e.g. £40 is received as A£40
I'm doing the urlencode before adding to the URI:
$text_message = html("FROM FOBG, DO NOT REPLY. ".$newfirstname.", as at ".$todays_date.", you owe the club £".$txtAmount.". You have until ".$due_date." to pay.");echo $text_message;$text = urlencode($text_message);echo $text;
Even clickatell support could not solve this, so I am closing the question. Thanks again for responding.
Here's clickatell support's advice:
I see your problem, Unicode will not work for dynamic text, as the £ should display correctly without URL encoding in the UK. If you are making use of a third party application I would suggest submitting messages using HTTP to avoid any URL encoding issues.
what happens if you send it just as text body and not as an URL?
