Hello I have a MSSql 2000 database that have stored data with the follow special characters: ó, í, Ñ, á, é, ú. When I see the data through any MsSql Client I see exactly those characters. The Collation of database is: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS I can?t change the method of insert data in database. When I get (with MSSQL PHP extension) data that have some of those characters, I get weird characters instead. For example: A data that in database appears as ?Girón? is obtained by PHP as ?Gir¢n? The problem with the encoding of browser is discarded, because wherever I saw the data appears with weird characters. The code I use to get the data is: <?php mssql_connect('server','user','pass'); mssql_select_db('db'); $r = mssql_query(?select some_column from some_table?); $d = mssql_fetch_assoc($r); echo $d['some_column']; ?> My PHP is 4.4.3, and my OS is XP. Other people ask the same as I?m and get no answer proper are: http://www.psicofxp.com/forums/desarrollo-web.264/226703-php-mssql-y-acentos .html http://www.bdat.net/cuestiones_php/php3/0702.html http://www.forosdelweb.com/f18/problemas-con-caracteres-especiales-acentos-p hp-mssql-server-364345/ http://markmail.org/message/7rksvz44sj2te5sl http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/archive/index.php/t-10208269.html Thanks in advanced.
