Note Submitter: s_a_m104 at hotmail dot com ---- Hello Im having a similiar problem I am trying to retrieve data from oracle into PHP and I have successfully accomplished that, but the data appeared in question marks (??????), so I add the AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256 to NLS language in the registry for oracle and now the data appears as (ÓÇãÑ ÝíáíÈ ÚíÏ ÇáÚÏíáí). I tried encoding and all suggested character sets from IE and from the PHP code but had no results. I tried Windows-1256, UTF-8 & 16, I would appreciate some support for this issue By the way anything else in the page that is not generated from the database and written in arabic appears in arabic OK with no problems so i have no problem with that, only with what is generated from the database. windows-1256 generates (ÓÇãÑ ÝíáíÈ ÚíÏ ÇáÚÏíáí) UTF-8 generates (����� � ����� ) But I have not tried what is suggested above because I dont know if SQL command will work for Oracle. Thank you
