Hi everyone, I have quite a problem using a COM-Object in PHP. The COM-Object connects to a database that's UTF-16 encoded and gets text-contents, that I want to process in PHP and write it back using the COM-Object. Unfortunately I cannot connect directly to the database, I have to use that COM-Object. My problem is now, that there seems to be some encoding-problem between the COM-Object and PHP. For example I have a character that looks like an "i" but without the dot. When I read it via the COM-Object, it returns it as a normal "i". I also tried different internal encodings in PHP, but with no effect.

You could use the multibyte string functions (mb_XX) for characterset stuff. Good luck! Marco

Hi Marco, thanks for your reply, unfortunately I already tried that without any positive effect. Best regards Calle
