To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates all necessary tables, stored procedures etc. Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-30 13:15:13] jprolando at gmail dot com Those Characters are iso-8859-1 they are characters that are used in spanish. Also when i load dbase database on MS-DOS they also display correctly. Ive tried using this <?php header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'); ... and using that charset it should work fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-30 13:05:39] tony2001@php.net Ok, so what are these characters? Some unicode ones? Then I guess you need to set appropriate encoding of the page to see them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-30 12:59:10] jprolando at gmail dot com Well, the database is being used in my bussines, and Im sure those characters are displayed correctly. Besides I load the database on acces and the special characters show up correctly. Here is a screenshots of the database being used in access http://www.hartley.edu.uy/caracteresacces.bmp ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-29 21:41:28] tony2001@php.net Are you sure the database really contains those characters (and not the broken ones)? Did you check it? How? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
