cags Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 You may also want "SET CHARACTER SET 'utf8'", then obviously you just need to make sure the character encoding of the page is correct. Using either the HTML meta tag or alternatively the header function will achieve this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
