Hi, Make sure the charset of your document matches the charset sent by the server - If you tell the browser the charset is A, and use characters from charset B, you will get the problem observed.
The charset can be sent from Apache, PHP and the actual charset is set in the document. It's a pain in the arse to fix, I've had the same problem, it took a lot of experimenting Good luck, "Wouter Van Vliet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello everybody, I'm back! (been a subscriber here before, a while ago .. was quite an active one at that time .. ;)) .. and I'm back for a reason, having a very wicked problem. The setup is one RedHat linux 9 machine (called "s007"), previously in use as both our web and database server. As traffic increased dramatically earlier this week, we had to grab another server, running RedHat Fedora. We'll call her "s006", and use to serve the webpages. All happened very quickly and smooth for most of it. Only currently still existing problem has (appearantly) to do with transferring the very special characters over the lines between s007 and s006, displaying them on the screen and entering them in the database through webforms. Normal special chars like é, ê, à and so on seem to be displayed ok (after calling htmlentities in php: PHP 4.3.3 (cgi) (built: Oct 21 2003 09:51:55) on s006 and PHP 4.3.4 (cli) (built: Jan 24 2004 22:34:14) on s007), but the more exotic ones (~ and ^ signs on and under Z, S .. and stuff like that) still cause problems on the s006. Same script, requesting data from the same rows of the same database on the s007 works as it is supposed to. MySQL version of both servers is "mysql Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.58, for redhat-linux-gnu (i386)", for both machines, /etc/sysconfig/i18n looks like: 1 LANG="en_US" 2 SUPPORTED="nl_NL:nl_NL:nl:en_US:en" 3 SYSFONT="lat0-sun16" 4 SYSFONTACM="iso15" (numbers are line numbers).
