sincityalex Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Hey all, I'm not much of a coder but heres my issue. I have text field that pulls text from a Mysql datbase, but when it shows up it has all kinds of crazy characters where comas, and perentesis go, any help on getting rid of these? I looked online and i guess it has to do with UTF-8? Thanks all for any help: http://bradhagermlm.com/editMemos.php?edit=memo&memo_id=15 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/182726-strange-characters-showing-up-in-text-field/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldeneye Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 You are right, it most likely has to do with the character encoding. Show us the text with these "strange" characters you speak of AND some code.

Alex Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 That doesn't help any. Clearly that area on the site requires some kind of authentication, because when we go there we just get redirected to the home page.
