Not even a link I can go look this up myself with?
I have successfuly converted before, but this time the company
is in the netherlands and their special characters are doing this.
Also, I have the database set to UTF-8, but when I check the charset:
$charset = mysql_client_encoding($con);
it returns latin1?
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?
Not looking for someone to do it for me.
Just some help figuring out which way to look.
Why is htmlentities() converting wrong?
How are you determining that you are using UTF-8 charset?
I think you want to set everything to UTF-8.. the database, the
table (or even finer in case any setting has e.g. a column set to
another charset), the script files, the HTML output, the browser,
*everything*.
Just because e.g. one sets the charset in the browser does not mean
that Apache (or whatever webserver you are using) is set to serve
that charset.

I believe when the table was set up.
This was handed off from others.
I will ask. Thanks for the heads up on the difference.
