Re: [PHP-DB] character problem with mssql
If problem is in your database use htmlentities(). It while translate all characters to HTML entities (check PHP manual). Else you should check web page's character code.

Re: [PHP-DB] character problem with mssql
Hi, the problem is you use a different codepage for all those characters. If you use a char(100) in MSSQL it will be single byte and connected to a codepage used by this database. You than can only use chars that reside in this code page. This is true for MySQL as well. MSSQL has the nChar(100) column type wich is multibyte (Unicode utf-8 i believe). If you have some thing that submits a mulitbyte string to the database it should work. AFAIK you have to compile PHP with multibyte support and this might work. I normally use the method of avoiding those chars by converting them to ї translation so a browser can understand them even with a wrong codepage set. Formdata is normally converted by the browser regarding to the set codepage and it should submit those ї strings that you can enter in a database with no multibyte support.

Re: [PHP-DB] character problem with mssql
hi, i had the same problem a while ago with japanese characters. are you using a turkish OS or turkish application to insert your data? for me, what happened was i was given a file from a colleague who was using japanese OS and japanese version of excel. when he passed me the data, i opened it in Win2000 english version and edited the data with Excel2000 english version. when i save the file in a .csv format, i think the japanese characters got corrupted cos when i uploaded the file to PHPMyAdmin, i get ?? instead of my jap characters. but when my colleague tried on his machine with all the japanese settings, it worked well and good.. once the data is inside, any one can read it with the characters .. reading has never been a prob.. to what i experienced, the OS and the application may solve your prob. hth hwee - Original Message - From: "Gamze Başaran" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 9:38 PM Subject: [PHP-DB] character problem with mssql > Hi; > > I use php and mssql.

[PHP-DB] character problem with mssql
Hi; I use php and mssql. I have got a character problem. I must use turkish chracters. When I select datas from database it works true and I can see turkish characters but when I want to insert new datas to database it set wrong character. For example "Şİ" characetrs look like "?" How can I solve this problem? My data type is char 100. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
