kmukund87 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 This problem seems very strange as it works perfectly fine when i use the phpmyadmin to update a field in my table but does not work when i use an sql command from php The text contains the letter "ó" and when executed from a php command, changes to a "?" and sits in the table. This problem does not occur when I use phpmyadmin Can someone please help me? Thanks in advance Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/214233-the-character-%C3%B3-bug/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmukund87 Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 Hi, I just solved the problem 2 minutes ago by using htmlentities instead of htmlspecialchars to sanitize my sql inputs. So this thread can be considered solved . But anyway, here is the code UPDATE page_content SET message = '$message' WHERE uid= 12 and $message is simply "ó". This does not work and when i look in the DB, message is "?" . message is a VARCHAR (I also tried with TEXT yeilding the same result) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/214233-the-character-%C3%B3-bug/#findComment-1115187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
