Hi! I have PHP4.05 and MSSQL7 desktop on Win2k. Problem occurs when I query results contain some extended characters, for example "ä" or similar. In place of these chars thaere are some non-aphanumeric ones displayed like boxes, etc.(",," instead of "ä") or simply some alphabetic character. Mssql tables are fine and show these chars correcty. I tried to change the default charset of php (ISO series) but that didn't help. I use the mssql_xxx functions and not odbc. MySQL does not have such problems (I have tested it). Has anyone got a working mssql-php that does not have problems with some extended characters? Could I hope to fix it somehow, how? TIA Karl H. Peterson
