lukep11a Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Hi, does anybody know why I get a question mark inside a diamond shape where a pound sign should be when i retrieve data from a mysql database? I have tried using latin1_general_ci and utf8_general_ci and they both do the same, don't know whether that is anything to do with it or not? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

codefossa Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 set the table and columns both to utf8 charset and utf8_general_ci (forget the word) Then it should work.
