I'm sending push notifications and when the message contains foreign characters (Turkish in my case) like I, s, ç, g... The message does not arrive to devices.
Here's my code:
$message = 'THIS is push';
$passphrase = 'mypass';
$ctx = stream_context_create();
stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'local_cert', 'MyPemFile.pem');
stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'passphrase', $passphrase);
// Open a connection to the APNS server
$fp = stream_socket_client(
'ssl://gateway.push.apple.com:2195', $err,
$errstr, 60, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT|STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT, $ctx);
if (!$fp)
exit("Failed to connect: $err $errstr" . PHP_EOL);
echo 'Connected to Apple service. ' . PHP_EOL;
// Encode the payload as JSON
$body['aps'] = array(
'alert' => $message,
'sound' => 'default'
);
$payload = json_encode($body);
$result = 'Start'.PHP_EOL;
$tokenArray = array('mytoken');
foreach ($tokenArray as $item)
{
// Build the binary notification
$msg = chr(0) . pack('n', 32) . pack('H*', $item) . pack('n', strlen($payload)) . $payload;
// Send it to the server
$result = fwrite($fp, $msg, strlen($msg));
if (!$result)
echo 'Failed message'.PHP_EOL;
else
echo 'Successful message'.PHP_EOL;
}
// Close the connection to the server
fclose($fp);
I have tried encoding $message variable with utf8_encode() but the message received as "THÝS is push". And other ways like iconv() didn't work for me, some of them cropped Turkish characters, some didn't receive at all.
I also have
header('content-type: text/html; charset: utf-8');
and
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
in my page. I don't think the problem appears while I set the value but maybe with pack() function.
Any ideas to solve this without replacing characters with English?
