effigy Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 What character set are you using? What does print_r($_POST); show you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenCountry Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 first of all thank you for replying the result it shows is Array ( [check] => í [go] => Submit ) when i inserted print_r($_POST); in the code as you said. thank you.

greenCountry Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 well regarding the character set using phpinfo() i got the apache characterset as (iso-8859-1, utf-8, utf-16, *;q=0.1) this the value of HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET under Apache Environment heading and (iso-8859-1, utf-8, utf-16, *;q=0.1) is the value of Accept-Charset under HTTP Request Headers heading. hope this helps you to figure out the problem thank you.
