Whmcs not pass data correct

[ptomter]

1) Whmcs = UTF-8
2) Databaese= UTF-8

When passing information from clients to custom modules its not UTF-8

Example Ø = O and Æ = AE etc.

Custom module file = UTF-8, but its the passing information from WHMCS to the custom module the letters are changed.

How are you "passing information from WHMCS to the custom module" specifically ?  Code examples goes miles.

I use the default WHMCS module paramters.
https://developers.whmcs.com/domain-registrars/module-parameters/

Example: <contact:street>".$params["fullstate"]."</contact:street>

Where fullstate= Some name with charchers norwegian letters ÆØÅ that turnes into AE, O and A when its passed on to the external system!

Similar problem as this guy had in 2010 -

Got it to work but had to put ["original"] before .

".$params["original"]["state"]."

Then its passed without any mapping from WHMCS side.

Data passed to the $params parameter will see all of the non-latin characters transliterated to their latin counterparts. This is done because some registrars will return errors should they receive a non-latin character. You can read some about this at https://docs.whmcs.com/Custom_Transliteration

As you have discovered, the original (non-transliterated) data is stored in the ['original'] array so you can have your registrar module access that via $params['original'] instead.

Thank you Nathan for your feedback. Highly appriciate it. I knew that this where done in parts of WHMCS but didn knew that this was also done when passing information from clients to custom modules also. Been around some years so I remembered the [orginal] from a ticket many years ago .. as I cant see its a part of the documentation ?
