Re: mySQL and accented chars revisited

Hi John, Sounds like you're using LC7 since I see textDecode in there. I don;t know enough about the URL side of things but I think the issue on the database side is what you are doing when you INSERT or UPDATE the data. It needs to be textEncoded at that point. After that, you need to

Re: mySQL and accented chars revisited

It would depend if they had been properly encoding the data in the database or not. If yes, then using textDecode when SELECTing should get you the correct results. If no, you'd need to do the one-time conversion I described (assuming it works of course!). Pete Pete lcSQL Software

Re: mySQL and accented chars revisited

As Peter says. This statement appears in the textDecode entry in the Dictionary but for some strange reason not in the textEncode entry. It says it all: It is highly recommended that any time you interface with things outside LiveCode (files, network sockets, processes, etc) that you explicitly
