Hi,
I want to encrypt a string in PHP which works fine but it returns a set of characters which are specific to the machines character set.
I then want to insert this data into a MS SQL 7 db which is fine except the database uses a different character set so that when i retrieve this information it is in the the character set that the database uses.
this is no good for decryption as i am trying to decrypt different characters. ive cant convert the char set before inserting into the database as php does not support the iso-1252 used by the database and i cant change the database char set because other datbases depend upon it.
Does anyone have any ideas ?
