I manage frequently standard configurations in Apache for Spanish websites. On my view, it's better not changing the Apache configuration. Instead that, be focused in having a latin_set characters in your Mysql tables, in example latin1_swedish_ci. As a guide, when I open phpMyAdmin, I have my tables with latin1_swedish_ci in where appears España. Then, having the HTML pages with it works without problems. You can use use the PHP utf8_decode() function but it will be a hard work for all variables in the whole site. If you are now in a mess, I recommend you putting the Apache configuration in the standard way. Restart, and load your HTML page, changing the page codification using UTF and ISO-8859-1. In this way, you can know what codification demands your HTML page to show DB dates in a right way according the actual state of you tables. If still you are not able to see the characters in any way, then you can export and re-import your tables choosing a latin1_set and then problem will be solved using UTF-8 in the HTML pages. But if you change Apache configuration, it can interfere with other previous scripts or tables, I don't recommend you. It is my experience.

Yes. MySQL 4.1.20-log with columns in utf8_unicode_ci Collation. PHP 4.3.10 serving web pages with charset=UTF-8 read from the MySQL column above. In the html page: If I echo utf8_encode($fieldFromDB) it looks good. If I remove utf8_encode, it looks bad. After submitting the html form, if I send an html email (setting charset=UTF-8) or store it back into the utf8_unicode_ci Collation column, it looks bad. HOWEVER, I am using characters from the extended ascii table http://asciitable.com/ We have people from different countries using the same scripts and database. I thought utf8_unicode_ci should handle all or most. What should I be using? Also, in the html form, I have method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data". Is there a form property needed as well? _ Boo! Scare away worms, viruses and so much more! Try Windows Live OneCare! http://onecare.live.com/standard/en-us/purchase/trial.aspx?s_cid=wl_hotmailnews
[PHP-DB] Special chars & UTF-8: sometimes ok, sometimes wrong
Hi. Working with PHP 4.4 and mySQL 4.1, I've got some texts stored in a UTF-8 table with special chars. I serve a UTF-8 header within my HTML, Apache is configured to serve UTF-8 and PHP scripts are saved in UTF-8 charset. However, sometimes I get 'España' and other times 'Espa�a'. The difference? I press F5 (Refresh) bottom on my web browser (I use Firefox and Internet Explorer). This is the first time I experience this issue. When I have suffered problems with special chars I use utf8_decode or utf8_encode, but I always try to store text data in UTF-8 charset and serve them always with UTF-8 PHP scripts. However, this is a very odd issue, since it happens only with text taken from DataBase, but not from texts written in scripts :( Any similar experience? -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP-DB] email HTML code showing in Eudora
I have the following code that so for works perfect for all email programs EXCEPT Eudora. With Eudora, the entire code after the first ?>, starting at "--PHP-alt" just pops into the body of the email. Anyone know of a fix for Eudora that will still allow the rest of the world to see it correctly? --PHP-alt- Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello World!!! This is simple text email message. --PHP-alt- Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello World! This is something with HTML formatting. --PHP-alt--- -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP-DB] php maximum characters in text field
I have always called them curly quotes and when I Googled "curly quotes in php", I came up with the script I sent yesterday. But, I think you are right. -Original Message- From: Niel Archer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 5:39 PM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] php maximum characters in text field Hi > Does anyone know how to look for a "Curly quote" or "typographer's quotation mark".
