Alphaindex with unicode characters

Login with username, password and session length

Hello
I am trying to show a second alphaindex in directory with unicode characters but instead I get ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
I just changed the chr numbers
<?php for ($i=913; $i<= 937; $i++):?>
   <?php $options[] = $Routes->alphaindex(chr($i),strtolower(chr($i)),$directory,array('class'=>'jrButton','style'=>'display: inline;','rel'=>'nofollow'));?>
<?php endfor;?>
Can someone give me a little help how to show those characters?
Thanks in advance.

I already show that. But when I write the code like this when I press the letter A (<?php $options[] = $Routes->alphaindex('&#945;','&#945;',$directory,array('style'=>'width:2em;','rel'=>'nofollow'));?>)
is won't go to the listing I have.
it just go to the directory list page.

Please can someone solve me this problem? it is essential because if I can't do that change I can't buy it . thanks

Add the characters normally in greek and make sure you save your file with utf-8 encoding

Code:

echo $Routes->alphaindex('α','α',$directory,array('style'=>'width:2em;','rel'=>'nofollow'));

echo $Routes->alphaindex('β','β',$directory,array('style'=>'width:2em;','rel'=>'nofollow'));

I tried it this way but it still do the same. Any other solution?

I tried it and it worked. What is the url?

[vasilis georgiou]

I work in localhost
I ried with 'α' and 'Α' but I still got the same problem.
Can you paste the whole source of the alphaindex with the modification?

I used this

Code:

<?php $options[] = $Routes->alphaindex('&#913;','&#913;',$directory,array('class'=>'jrButton','style'=>'display: inline;','rel'=>'nofollow'));?>

becuase your code was just print echo $Routes->alphaindex('α','α',$directory,array('style'=>'width:2em;','rel'=>'nofollow')); above buttons

Why don;t you try the code I gave you first and then you can modify it for your needs. What you wrote is 100% different than what I already gave you.

I tried it but it just prints

echo $Routes->alphaindex('α','α',$directory,array('style'=>'width:2em;','rel'=>'nofollow'));

it doesnt make a link or something so I can press it.

Where should I put this code? I mean in which line.

The code must go inside php tags, take a look at the screenshot:

Thanks for your reply and your time but I can't make it work.
I attached 3 image files
the first is the modifications you told me to do. (I had already tried that before with php code but I tried it again)


the second is how the code is shown in frontpage (it is above the buttons that has the jreview by default)


and in third picture the last 2 listings are starting with α (a in english) and none of them is working . not α (αβγ listing) neither γ (γαια listing)

Anyone has an idea how to solve it or what am I doing wrong?

I will try to make some time this week to have another look at this.
