I've built a system which uploads a tab-delimited text file saved from
Excel, then uses the text file to update a MySQL database. But when the
text file contains an "é" character (confirmed by viewing in a text
editor before uploading), the character is converted to some other
weird character -- a capital Z with what looks like an inverted
circumflex accent above it. This replacement character is stored in the
database and output to HTML pages. It doesn't matter if I use
htmlentites() on the data before storing in MySQL, the weird Z
character is still what's written to the database. And I'm not able to
do a string replacement to make it "é" again (or "é"), because
when I paste the weird accented Z character into a PHP file and save,
the character is converted into " }" (a space and closing bracket).
Perhaps this isn't a PHP problem, but can anyone point me towards a
solution? Setup is PHP 4.3.2 on FreeBSD 4.10, Apache 1.3.27.
TIA
