Strange characters

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I use a php form for people to upload bios of themselves, stored as a TEXT datatype in MySQL. Problem is, there are strange accents stored in the database.

How would I prevent this for future posts from people who use the form? Collation? I use Latin1_swedish_ci, doesnt this one contain most of the special characters? I think what people do is copy paste from Word, so it might be Word formatting?

 

Thanks all!

Matt
