UTF-8 Problems while sending Jquery Ajax

Question

I wrote a js script to post form data to my php backend. But the Textfield would receive it with a false encoding.

Here is my meta tag for this site:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />    

Heres my textarea:

<textarea id="orderlistlieferanschrift" style="width:294px; height:80px; resize:none;"></textarea>

Here is my php script:

header('Content-typ: content="text/html; charset=UTF-8');
$postdata = $_POST["postData"];
error_log($postdata);

The Data is collected as follows:

var Lieferanschrift           = $("#orderlistlieferanschrift").val();
aOrderInformations[9]         = Lieferanschrift;

Here is my ajax request:

var postData = JSON.stringify(aOrderInformations);
if(!ajaxload2) {
    //alert(postData);
    ajaxload2 = true;   
    $.ajax({
        type : 'POST',
        url : 'share/content/helper/writeorderdata.php',
        cache: false,
        dataType : 'json',
        data: {postData:postData},
        success: function() {
                        ajaxload2 = false;
                        alert("erledigt");
        }
    });
} 

In the server log the data where displayed as follows:

"Zentrale Oberursel\\nGablonzer Stra\xc3\x9fe 35\\n61440 Oberursel"

When I use the option data-Typ in jquery ajax an play with them an them the data won´t send.

Answer 1

In case you must be sure every thing is in order.... 1: Table DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci; 2: adding utf-8 in your html head section:

Try This after connecting to the MySQL Database...

Instead of using

header('Content-typ: content="text/html; charset=UTF-8');

use the following

mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");

Answer 2

Adding to

AddDefaultCharset utf-8 to the httpd.conf (apache config file?)

Or maybe is it the mistyped

header('Content-typ: content="text/html; charset=UTF-8');

to

header('Content-type: content="text/html; charset=UTF-8');
