WTH?link problem

[alejandro52]

I have 5 buttons and i when i click them i want them to redirect to "news.php?item=. The problem is that i want to write greek in the link but when i add greek words in the item it shows -Unknown column 'ΕÏωτήσεις' in 'where clause'- (i use the item to get the rows with the item).BUT when i add one specific greek word it works perfect. When i try to change one letter from the word it shows the error message again.WTH.

does anyone have an idea on whats he problem?

Well, I think that there is a problem with passing greek words in the browser with Get so i used something else.

I added one more column in my database ro represent what i want to pass with get as a number.Couldn't figure it out the problem but i think you can't pass greek words in the browser.

It's just an url encoding issue, but yes, it's easier to stick with standard ASCII characters.
