Hi!
I am having problems understanding proper character set handling. I've set MySQL database to have UTF8 as default character set. With phpMyAdmin I can write and see correct characters (in and out of the database), but with my own query page (featuring simple SELECT and ECHO of the returned strings), I do not, even though I've declared the page encoding the same as phpMyAdmin is using.
Is there some recoding the phpMyAdmin is doing, or what?
Do I need utf8 at all? I need Latin2, for Central European characters, but I thought to use utf8 to make it of a newer standard. Also, I am not sure if utf8 would be the correct set, since it is unicode, and I must prepare the network (intranet) to be compatibile with even Win95 systems.
I am running Apache2, MySQL 4.1.11 and PHP5 (no mysqli, just mysql extension), phpMyAdmin 2.6.3-rc1. It's on an intranet, so I can't show you the problem.
Thanks!
