Hi all: Im currently using php to connect to a database in another server, this is a intersystems cache database. if i do a query to my database and the result has special spanish characters like "´" (á,é,í,ó,ú) it returns me another character, this one changes from time to time, i just tried to make a test with the isql shell program, i connect and ask for the same query and in shell it returns the correct characters. If someone can help me please i'll apretiate. Thanks rodrigo -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
