Hi Angelo
what's the charset of your database table? Do e.g. "SHOW CREATE TABLE
xxxxx" in mysql to see what the table is stored as.

OK, all of that came through fine in ISO-8859-1 as quoted-printable.
And yes, if you to put that in a UTF-8 page, utf8_encode() would be the
right thing.

Find out what charset the database is stored in - if it's ISO-8859-1 or
a close relative (which I suspect), you need to either serve your pages
as ISO-8859-1 or convert to UTF-8 using e.g. utf8_encode() and serve
the pages as UTF-8.
Have you got a sample I can look at? (feel free to send me URLs
off-line).
