hello there,

i have a lil' problem with my dedicated server and would like to know what can i do to resolve it.

The charsets wont appear when i post a message or a sql request on a forum or any ""software"" using php and mysql. Well that's ok if it's in a plain HTML format.

example:

test tèst tést tééest tàst tást tìst tôst tòst tóst tíst

specials characters appears like this in phpbb:

test tïÔt tñÔt tòëest tßÔt táÔt t÷Ôt t

Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

Freebsd 5.21
Directadmin 1.23.4
Apache 1.3.33
Php 4.3.10
MySQL 4.1.10

(It's in french...)

Maby its how they are stored in the database, mysql may be messing it up. I heard mysql 4.1 allows you to specify a charset, maby you should look into that. I would check the data thats in the actual database, if thats where the problem is go to the mysql website and ask about it there.
