To define more clearly: I have a Microsoft SQL database. In that database, there are many articles, with pictures, etc. I tried to access those articles using php, and wanted to display them. All is fine, but, instead of slovene characters 蚞 (which you probably don't see anyway) I get garbles (unrecognized characters). I was using mssql_* functions to retrieve the data. Then, I created a simple table in mysql, inserted a row manually (from the console) and the same thing happens. BUT, if I insert the items trough PHP the first time, than the characters are retrieved correctly. So I suspect there must be something with encoding, perhaps. To make things even more funny, when I used ADO COM object to access the MS SQL server, the strings retrieved are fine. I apologize if I posted this under the wrong category, but I could not decide whether it is a db problem or not. Feel free to move this item to another category, if you wish. System details: SQL Server: Win2k, Slovenian locale PHP system: Win2k, Apache 1.3.26 (Win32), PHP 4.2.2, mysql 3.23.52, Slovenian locale ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-30 07:05:53] sniper@php.net Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug.
