Occasionally, I have a problem dealing with some of the special characters from text authored in MS Word, and then pasted into a web form. It seems that somewhere something bad happens and what eventually gets put into mysql via php is not correct. In particular, I have trouble with apostrophes and accented vowels. Is the solution to disallow users (it's an admin, so this is realistic) from pasting from MS Word? -- Jim Musil --------- Multimedia Programmer Nettmedia ------------- 212-629-0004 jim@nettmedia.com
