PHP, Oracle and iso-8859-1 characters

Hello, I have a database that contains text with accented vowels (àèéìòù). They are displayed just fine when accessing the database from Java/JSP pages on the same machine and DB, but from PHP I get the vowels without the accent (à => a, è => e). The database uses UTF-8 encoding. Platform infos: Red Hat Linux Apache 1.3.20 PHP 4.1.1 (accepting ISO-8859-15 and UTF-8) Oracle 8.1.7 (using UTF-8 encoding, accessed using the OCI API) I'd be really happy to have even the slighties hint about the issue Thanks in advance Michele P.S. I'm not on the list, please CC: me, thanks again -- Michele Campeotto Wireless Team E-TREE S.p.A. ______________________________________________ Via Fonderia 45 - 31100 Treviso - Italy- ph.+39.0422.3107 fax.+39.0422.310888 www.e-tree.com www.webanana.com _______________________________________________
