This is slightly OT but I honestly don't know what else I can do. I was asked to migrate a website from diff hosts. Okay, pretty easy, right? Well, as usual, it wasn't. Site pages content type was ISO-8559-1 and it was developed for a MySQL5 database that used latin1 as charset and InnoDB as storage system. Pretty normal and ran smoothly. The client database is a old 4.0 MySQL that (I'm not sure if they're just disabled but it) doesn't have InnoDB and latin1. So I'm stuck with MyISAM and UTF8. No, they can't change it - their hosting want them to migrate to MSSQL and they can't switch hosts for whatever reason.
Tried either of these? http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset-convert.html http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?10,52929,56552#msg-56552 -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
