inserting BIG5 to MySQL table HELP!

Post by ferfer »

all i have is a php with a simple form, with each field representing a column, once you type in the info, and hit submit, the data will be inserted into the table. However, when i typed Chinese Big5 into the form and submitted it, the chinese words that are inserted into the table becomes stuff like: 粵語

What could be wrong? how do i enter big5 properly into the table.. ?

That is usually just a representation of the characters entered. When you view them in HTML they should appear properly. Do you have any conversions taking place when you put it into the tables?

No, no conversion is taking place.... but I want the values to store in the table as big5, instead of the browser converting those codes back into big5.
