Retrieving Special Characters From MySQL Database
Posted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 6:57 pm
Hey,
I've been trying to retrieve certain characters from my mySQL database, characters such as 'ç' and 'á'. I use these characters in certain words, such as 'Français' in a menu for my site. The menu works fine on my localhost, all characters are displayed properly, however when I upload my site and database to my server, 'ç', for example, becomes '�' or '?'. Seeing as it works on my localhost I'm guessing that it is a setting issue with my server's database or I've just coded my menu to suit my localhost only.
Any ideas?
Mike
