Yeah, sorry Tex - when I included that URL I should have given some more info. That's obviously the old version of the site, when I was even lower down the learning curve(!). Some of those dodgy characters have arisen because I simply typed the accented characters from the keyboard into the PHP code, rather than using HTML entities like é. I started creating the site on a Windows box and moved to a Linux one... The bit that concerns me is this: on the page www.webvivant.com/market/, if you enter the word 'partner' into the search box and hit 'search now...' it should bring up just one message. At the end of that message is the person's location, which is the Midi-Pyrénées. That text is pulled from the MySQL table. The accented characters work fine on the live system when the page is delivered/viewed as iso-8859-1. On my local system, the page needs to be delivered/viewed as utf-8. -- @+ Steve -- PHP Internationalization Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
