After reading a bit it seems my problem stems from the fact that although my database and tables are all utf8 the "connection" charset seems not to be. I have data that is unicode. I can view it in the database and they're there. When I retrieve the data all the unicode chars are converted to question marks.
So my question is this. How do I set it so that this does not happen. So that the data returned is unicode? Is this something I need to set on the server end? Or is it a client thing that I have to have the client specify when it opens a connection? -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Stormblade (Shaolin Code Warrior) Software Developer (15+ Years Programming exp.)
