Charset ISO-8859-1 - El Forum - 09-18-2009

Thanks for helping.
I wrote in config/database.php:
$db ['default'] ['char_set'] = "latin1";
$db ['default'] ['dbcollat'] = "latin1_swedish_ci";
And now it works, thank you for helping

You shoud be using Charset utf-8 and COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci or utf8_general_ci NOT Latin!

Because it will keep you out of the MySQL hell!
utf8_general_ci is a stripped down version of utf8_unicode_ci.
utf8_unicode_ci handles international character sets better.
