Hi. Working with PHP 4.4 and mySQL 4.1, I've got some texts stored in a UTF-8 table with special chars. I serve a UTF-8 header within my HTML, Apache is configured to serve UTF-8 and PHP scripts are saved in UTF-8 charset. However, sometimes I get 'España' and other times 'Espa�a'. The difference? I press F5 (Refresh) bottom on my web browser (I use Firefox and Internet Explorer). This is the first time I experience this issue. When I have suffered problems with special chars I use utf8_decode or utf8_encode, but I always try to store text data in UTF-8 charset and serve them always with UTF-8 PHP scripts. However, this is a very odd issue, since it happens only with text taken from DataBase, but not from texts written in scripts :( Any similar experience? -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
