Hi there
I'm new to CodeIgniter and am trying to develop my first project with this framework. I use German language and therefore I need some special characters (umlauts). Using scaffolding works perfect, but umlauts are put into the database in some crypted form. If I put information directly to the database (e.g. with phpMyAdmin), CI isn't able to display umlauts correctly.
It's a MySQL database, the collation is set to utf-8 as it is configured in the config.php file, too.
I thought with utf-8 I shouldn't have any problem with different character sets. Well, I'm not expert in this special case. Anyone have a solution?
Thanks
Bastian
