>From the MySQL manual (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset-syntax.html): --- By default, MySQL uses the latin1 (cp1252 West European) character set and the latin1_swedish_ci collation that sorts according to Swedish/Finnish rules. These defaults are suitable for the United States and most of Western Europe. --- Your system must be compiled to not use latin1, but it is in no way a PHP documentation problem.

After checking lots of posibilities, i set the mysql.connect_charset variable, at php.ini, to latin1, and my code finally worked It seems that the default charset for mysql functions in php 5.2.1 running over apache2 it's utf8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41168&edit=1
