PHP 3.0.17 with Oracle db
Hi all,
I am working on a search functionality where in I dont' get the exact
search results if the user types in a name with special characters like: med
vänlig hälsning, António etc. and characters like: åäö
I dont' know whether there's any built in functions for recognising
these special characters or not. If yes, pls. tell me where can I get the
information about that from ?, and if not, how can I go about it ?. I dont'
want to hard code all the special characters either. Whatever special
characters I enter, it should cross check the database and give me the
results properly. If this is not clear, pls. let me know so that I can
explain you all once again.
Pls. help me out in this issue.
Thanks in advance.
