A manual conversion shouldn't be necessary as long as the right NLS 
charset is set. However explicitly setting this was missing when using 
wbxml.



I added two lines:

         NLS::setCharset($decoder->getCharsetStr());

         String::setDefaultCharset($decoder->getCharsetStr());



to syncml_wbxml.php in the rpc package.



Please update the RPC package to cvs and give it a try. Thanks!



The horde log should report something like



"SyncML: authorized=1 version=1 msgid=# source=... charset=UTF-8 
wbxml=1 [on line 293..."



If there's another charset, something is wrong.

This should be done a bit smarter with String::convertCharset(), but 
thanks for the start.

Using Horde CVS and the Synthesis client 2.5 we are able to 
synchronize Notes between Horde and Palm. Thanks for your great work   
done on SyncML !

Our database charset is ISO-8859-1 and the Synthesis client uses UTF-8 
for Notes (text/plain). So we have to modify 
/lib/SyncML/Device/Synthesis.php :



  function convertServer2Client:

     if (NLS::getCharset() != "UTF-8" &&

        strstr($contentType,'text/plain') !== false) {

            $content = utf8_encode($content);

  }



  function convertClient2Server:

      if (NLS::getCharset() != "UTF-8" &&

         strstr($contentType, 'text/plain') !== false) {

            $content = utf8_decode($content);

      }
