Re: Retrieving foreign characters from DB
To Paul Hastings (and other that may help), I found out that my problem is related to the fact that I use MySQL. When I use MS-Access as the backend everthing seems to work fine. I made a simple insert-form and took care of the encoding in the head of the page. The data gets correctly inserted when submitting the form with MX (as far as I can trust my query tool) but it's not getting display properly when outputting it to screen with MX...? Now is this an CFMX-issue or an MySQL-thing?? Hope you or someone else from the list can point me to a solution. TIA Patric PS Hi CF-Talkers, PS does anyone of know how to retrieve and properly display foreign characters (in this case PS german ones) from an existing MySQL-Datasource with CFMX. My app PS worked with CF5 but now it renders some glyphs where those extended PS characters should appear. The characters are correctly shown in the DB PS when the data is retrieved with any other query-tool. PS Btw the CFMX_Server is the english release, PS not the international.

Re: Retrieving foreign characters from DB
I found out that my problem is related to the fact that I use MySQL. When I use MS-Access as the backend everthing seems to work sorry, been at another site all day. i kind of thought that might be the case--mysql isn't particularly suited to i18n apps, doesn't do unicode, etc. though the driver mm uses (mm.mysql) claims to handle double byte data. i guess have a look at what options for character encoding that driver has to offer. Now is this an CFMX-issue or an MySQL-thing?? since i can work plenty fine with just about any language w/cfmx sql server i will take a stab at blaming mysql... __ Your ad could be here.

Retrieving foreign characters from DB
Hi CF-Talkers, does anyone of know how to retrieve and properly display foreign characters (in this case german ones) from an existing MySQL-Datasource with CFMX. My app worked with CF5 but now it renders some glyphs where those extended characters should appear. The characters are correctly shown in the DB when the data is retrieved with any other query-tool. Btw the CFMX_Server is the english release, not the international. Hope my question is understandable Patric -- Patric Stumpe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Your ad could be here.

Re: Retrieving foreign characters from DB
CFMX cannot read (properly) locales saved with CF5. Paul Hastings who has extended CF localization experience has confirmed with MM this behavior. It looks there is problem with the new database drivers. in any case you should put the following in your Application.cfm file cfcontent type=text/html; charset=your char set cfset setEncoding(URL, your char set) cfset setEncoding(FORM, your char set) Marius Milosav www.scorpiosoft.com It's not about technology, it's about people.
