mssql_query("SET NAMES 'cp1256'"); and mssql_query("SET CHARACTER SET 'cp1256'"

[zohab]

hi all

 

In my application i am getting data in following format

 

data=>"d9a1d9a1"

 

$msg="d9a1d9a1";

 

i am converting it into its equivalent format.

 

i am using

 

$s=pack("H*", $msg); to pack data

 

then

 

mssql_query("SET NAMES 'cp1256'");

mssql_query("SET CHARACTER SET 'cp1256'");

 

inseting $s value in database

 

but i am not getting proper data

 

 

any ideas?
