Hi ,
We have a problem with storing data into our oracle database that is
copied from Microsoft word. A typical example would be a hyphen, if
entered directly in an input box this is stored fine. However if copied
from Microsoft word it is displayed as a question mark.
Has anyone else experienced
Hi

It's not the normal hyphens that cause a problem but the long hyp
Hi David
off the top of my head, the best I can suggest is using PHP's MB
functions (lookup mb_string) to allow recognition and then convert them

A solution I use is to do apply this function to all POST data
collected. The key here for your problem is the chr(150) and chr(151)
that are replaced with a normal hyphen. This also takes care of MS
Words Smart Quotes. If there are other MS Characters you need to
convert, just add them to
