Re: Character encoding

I assume that the comments are collected by a browser form provided by you ! do u use the form attribute "accept-charset" ? I always do and I always use UTF-8 homogeniously throughout my application I never had that problem.

As the users can be from different countries, with different character encoding, the mysql table can contain various special characters. How can I be sure to display these comments properly? I've found the mb_convert_encoding, and for some characters it works okay, but there are some really special characters which displayed as a '?'. Does anybody know some workarounds? Thanks, SanTa
