It appears that what may be happening is due to a character set mismatch somewhere. It looks like when "Bärbel Rüssel" is converted to unicode it is actually encoded as utf-8 but is converted as if it were iso-8859-1 encoded. >The strange thing for me is, that the name is correct if I subscribe the >member in the admin-interface manually.

I suspect the post data from your script is utf-8 encoded and not iso-8859-1 encoded. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
