Your � didn't display properly at all - I tried ISO-8859-1 and UTF8. /Per Jessen, Zürich Hi Per that?s the problem I am having, this is how data from a project I inherited is saved in the DB and I cant get it to show. However I get normal data eg: ème est très haute. To show if its saved like that in the DB, I just do: echo utf8_encode("ème est très haute."); and it works well. Is there anyway you think I can get the data in the DB to format correctly perhaps using some sort of string command?
