Hi All,
I've been digging through posts on these forums as well as the Goog regarding character encoding, it seems one of those topics that's so scattered it's hard to find an answer to my specific problem.
I've got content that uses the character "è". If I save it to the database using phpMyAdmin, all is okay, and if I save it with a one-off script containing only the db connection plus the query, it's also ok. If, however, I save it using an application built using CodeIgniter (1.7.2), it gets converted to garbled junk ("è").
I've tried a few various things blindly (changing collation on the tables, changing the collation in database.php config file, etc) but nothing corrects it. I don't entirely understand the problem... the database has no issues with the character, the browser has no issues with the character... somewhere in the code Codeigniter seems to be doing some encoding work, but I can't find where that happens either.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for reading.
