Robert, thanks for the info. If I succeed (ya right!) I'll let you
know!

I don't remember how to call it, but I did test it a bit, and never
got it to work correctly, and at the time, I was already abandoning
witango for php 5, so didn't dig with it. The thing is, it doesn't
allow witango to SPEAK utf-8, just spit it out. But I never
experimented enough with how to spit that out into a db properly, I
think I only got it to work if I used it to create a text file.
Anyway, I spent many moons dealing with text encoding, with other
languages and witango. Witango pretty much only handles 8859-1
correctly.

Hi Robert!
new cipher of UTF-8? what is this?
I tried leaving witango/apache to 8859-1 and oracle/oci to utf-8
but I don't think that worked, instead of "?" it came out with "?"
surrounded by a diamond! :) Tried some oracle built-in functions
as well but you are right its Witango that's causing this but for
the moment I'm just looking for some workarounds.
thanks!

Witango currently only speaks ISO 8859-1. You can try
experimenting with new cipher of UTF-8.
Your db driver/mechanism should be translating from 8859-1 from
witango to utf-8 in oracle, and back out. If you are having an
issue, the best way to start is see if you can tell the db driver/
mechanism that witango is using 8859-1, and so it will do the
translating. If you try doing the translating on the witango side,
you may end up pulling your hair out.

Hello everyone! :-) (yes, I'm still cooking witango)
Oracle is setup as a UTF8 database (incl. local client)
When writing/reading data using SQLDeveloper, data shows up fine.
Inserting using Witango (osx/apache/oci), data is not inserted
nor read properly, its messed up!
I have setup nls_lang/charsert on the osx box and html header to
utf-8 but still no go. urlencoding/decoding sometimes work (for
some characters) but not for all (ex: smart quotes).
Any ideas on fixing this?
thanks!
