Re: browser shows garbage instead of UTF-8 characters

Sadm,

what is the encoding setting of your database driver?

What happens if you put out the retrieved Data to a console or a debug
window?

Have you analyzed the garbage, what is it? Escaped Characters? Hungarian?
Arabian? Chinese??

How do you "fetch a record", how do you output it to "THE" "Web browser"?
What are your HTML Headers? Which HTML / XHTML do you use?
