obay Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Hi all, I have a weird problem with foreign characters in PHP + MySQL. For example, the query: INSERT INTO names VALUES ('ñame') is saved as: ñaame The names table is utf8_general_ci and the column is utf8_unicode_ci What's wrong??

Zyx Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 And how about the connection encoding? Are you saving the data from a form? If yes, have you set the proper charset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obay Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 i set the charset properly <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obay Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Solved this by changing the charset to ISO-8859-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
