I have been trying for a WEEK, 7 days, to get a project built in PHPRunner 5.3 to cross over and play nice with PHPRunner 6, build 9948.
Now I discover that PHPRunner 6 cannot handle German characters with umlauts such as ü ä ö
The Assign Users to Groups function in Admin online will not save a user to their own named Group if their name contains an umlaut.
PHPRunner 6 pages are looking at the same database, same tables, same server, as I test the PHPRunner 6 version in a different folder on the same website.
I have two users who sign in to the 5.3 folder with their full names and those names contain in one case a ä and in another case a ü
I was using the same table to authenticate log ins that I refer to for getting values to assign Groups and Permissions.
This a NEW problem. If I change this table to respell their names using a or u instead of ä or ü so that I can save Group Assignments correctly then these users must improperly spell their own names to log in.
I know I can work around this by creating a different table for logins and permissions but this ought not to be a new task because I am using PHPRunner 6.
