Hi, This problem is solved now (thanks Wez Furlong). The problem was, that i had the mbstring php module enabled (check with phpinfo). By default this module encodes input data. After i added the following lines to the php.ini the problem was solved: mbstring.http_input = pass; mbstring.http_output = pass;
bottomline, be carefull when activating this module, it might do more than you expect ;-) Merijn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Merijn van den Kroonenberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 4:10 PM Subject: [PHP] curl and UTF-8, follow up > I did some further testing, and i found that this behaviour is not > consistent.
