Hi Red, I'm actually working on a project as well at the moment that uses utf8
data
in MySQL. All chars should be OK when output with utf8_decode(). Do the chars only look wrong within textarea or also outside of form elements?
[....] Actually everything ( expect one language ... i guess it was pl ) was displayed fine using utf8_decode but everything within an textarea or our RTE was displayed completly wrong ... either those 1/4... symbols or the good ol '????' ... not sure in which kind formated the data was returned :-)
Does the data look correct in the database? Have you tried browsing the table with phpMyAdmin? Torsten
