accent problem with é è à ù

[JB]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with accent in PHP/HTML.

I have a value stored in a table.
The value is : é è à ù
When I look directly into table via phpmyadmin, the value seems to be
stored correctly.
Yet, when I try to get the value in my php code (mysql_query() ... ),
what I get is totally different for the three lasts characters.

I get the 'é' correctly, but the other characters are transformed into
special characters : a 'c' with a special accent: an inverted ^ ), an
'r' with an accent, and a 'u' with a square on top of it.

I tried to use addslashes() or stripslashes() but it didn't changed
the problem at all.

Does anybody have any idea about what is happening?

Thanks.

Probably a problem with character encoding in the html page that
displays the results...

My 2 cents

Try:

$string = "\* your query result here *\";
echo utf8_encode($st ring);

It might just do the trick.
