I was trying to specify the NLS_LANG parameter a AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1. I need to to manage to read the special character. Oracle is configured for using AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1. I test this one whith sqlplus in the server. I make a connection to Oracle with putenv("NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1") o change this variable in the apache-php 4.01's config file . But, I run my scriping and in response the warning was returned...
