CHARSET (PHP & MySQL)

[Bubbi]

Hi! I saw that there was some writing about it but nothing helps

I have hosting in some firm in US. I set ma database charset to
windows-1250. I also set all tables to that charset. Insert with phpmyadmin
works fine but when I use php, as output I get strance chars.

When I use php to enter data insted of special chars I get "?" or none.

Its strange for me becuase when I use SQL trough phpmyadmin and execute
script that insert rows all data are inserdet right!

Do I need and can it be done to setup charset for PHP. I dont have admin
privilegies on server :)

Please help!

after establising connection to server execute this query:

SET NAMES windows-1250;

this should help
