Another recent poster was having random characters converted to non-ASCII characters. SELECT j*nk FROM table where * is really a u with an umlaut, but I dunno how to get that out of my keyboard... It's possible that you have the same thing, but your software is not displaying non-ASCII characters. Even if it's not, I guess it could be related... Anyway, dig into his thread from a couple weeks back in case that got resolved... I'd also check http://bugs.php.net And maybe try going to 4.3.11 instead of .10, unless you have a very specific reason for not going there. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
