Christian F. Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I'm suspecting that this mysql_set_charset('iso-8859-1',$link); is the problem, or at least part of it. Seeing as it's the US flavor of the latin charsets. You really should be converting your site to use UTF-8, and make sure that everything is sending, expecting, checking and treating all input and output as UTF-8. That way you will not have any issues with regional glyphs or characters. If that doesn't help then we'll need to see more code, and an example of what it "doesn't show". Especially the JS function suggest (). Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/268137-auto-suggest-charset/#findComment-1376211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 This is a mysql forum -- we don't *ever* need to see a JS function. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/268137-auto-suggest-charset/#findComment-1376298 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian F. Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Hmm... You're right. Think this might have been posted in the wrong section, even if it's a bit hard to say exactly what the problem is at this point.
