From: agapater at yahoo dot com Operating system: Windows Xp PHP version: 5.0.4 PHP Bug Type: MySQL related Bug description: special characters Description: ------------ I have just updated to php 5.0.4 Somehow, the romanian special characters(ãîºþâ) retrieved from mysql are not recognized, instead I get only "?". I haven't changed anything in the database, I use a similar php.ini This is not a html encoding problem, I use the right encoding: iso-8859-2 Also, <?php print "ãîºþâ"; ?> works just fine I didn't have this problem in php 5.0.2 or any other previous versions Reproduce code: --------------- I think this is irrelevant, but here it is: $sqlEv = mysql_query("select eveniment from epi_foto_eveniment order by id_eveniment desc limit 0,4"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sqlEv)) { print ".$row['eveniment']."<br>\r\n"; } Expected result: ---------------- Întâlnirea tinerilor din Protopopiatul Marghita Searã de priveghere pentru Sfântul Pãrinte la Sf. Gheorghe Marº pentru Sfântul Pãrinte Actual result: -------------- ?nt?lnirea tinerilor din Protopopiatul Marghita Sear? de priveghere pentru Sf?ntul P?rinte la Sf.
