Hi,

I got a web site with lots of french accents. I am not able to get the accents proper even after doing all the functions said in php.net. I tried even user documented ones... utf_decode also do not work:(

How to solve this issue.Request pointers

Thanks.

Can you post what you've done? I have a site using UTF-8, and it took me a while to get it sorted out. Is your backend database ALSO utf-8? That made a *huge* difference for me. making sure my takes had default charset utf8

don't try and retro-actively change the charset, it'll wipe out the data. instead create a new table utf8, and select into it. then rename it.
