2 possible solutions: 1 - use latest versions (4.1) of mysql and UTF-8 encoding.

I am using 4.0.18 and the data look korrekt when retriefed out of the database. I did not enable any kind of encodeing. Is there a downfall in how I am doing it, which I just now do not notice? Regards, Merlin

What are the benefits if it works without them as well? Thank you for any hint, Merlin -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
