Some chars are corrupted while saving forms data

[fabiuz]

I have some forms where data is collected to a mysql db; what happens for some users (not all but only few of them) is that letters like:

è é à ù ì

are corrupted and are saved with things like:

è ò é á

like if something is wrongly translated.

Does anyboy know how can I solve this thing (if I can) ?

Could php setlocale function help ?

Thanks!
