Hi..
I encountered some problems with character sets.
On the 4.0 version I stored UTF-8 strings. When upgraded to 4.1, I saw the default character set was 'latin1', so I converted to UTF-8 using this:
ALTER TABLE my_table CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET 'utf8', DEFAULT CHARACTER SET 'utf8';
When viewing the pages, I see that some of the characters were corrupted (the same chars always). I tried to return to convert back to 'latin1' but the problem remained.
What was the problem? How can I fix it?
BTW: for some reason I cannot reply to posts in this mailing list using Thunderbird. (On PHP mailing list replying works).
please help... -thanks, Eli
