php handling character set

I have an issue with encoding json to sent to datatable.net. I received DataTables warning: "table id=varietyTable - Invalid JSON response. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/1." Checked the development tool. I found out that there is no response. There apparently there is something wrong with json_encode. I look at the record. it seems to have problem handing ascii code 160. The same code running on my local machine (running xampp). There is no problem.

I tried to echo the page. I see unreadable character on the remote server but no local host. output on remote server: Alma�� output on local host: Alma (note that there are spaces behind the word Alma).

The php code are identical. I am just wondering whether the local php setting is different so that the special characters can handle properly.

Thanks.

here are some code from php code that receiving the records and return as Json. The code is rather long. I am posting the parts the fetch the records and return as json. The error message is already posted above: Invalid Json response (in fact. there is no response). It happens whenever I navigate to the records containing the special characters. Again, I only got the error on the remote host, not on the local host. That leads me believe that it's the configuration issue because the source code on the localhost and remote machine are identical.

    $totalQuery = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
    $totalRowCount = mysqli_num_rows($totalQuery);

    if($_POST['length'] != -1){
        $start = $_POST['start'];
        $length = $_POST['length'];
        $sql .= " LIMIT " . $start . ", ". $length;
    }
    
    $filteredQuery = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
    $filteredRowCount = mysqli_num_rows($filteredQuery);

    $data = array();

    $counter;
    while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($filteredQuery))
    {
        $counter += 1;
        $sub_array = array();
        $sub_array[] = $row['variety_name'];
        $sub_array[] = $row['abbreviation'];
        $sub_array[] = $row['fig_family_name'];
        $sub_array[] = $row['variety_id'];
        $data[] = $sub_array;
     
    }

    $output = array(
        'draw'=> intval($_POST['draw']),
        'recordsTotal' =>$totalRowCount,
        'recordsFiltered'=>$totalRowCount,
        'data'=>$data,
    );
    
    echo  json_encode($output);

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
