    Diacritics not appearing on web site ....


    I have an application that I have sold to a few institutions and one
    installation in particular is giving me a real headache. Its a PHP
    application that draws data from either Oracle or MySQL - much of the
    data contains characters with diacritics (â à etc). It has been
    installed on a range of webservers and php versions and operating
    systems yet this time the diacritics are being removed -- â will
    simply be displayed as a.

    We have double checked the data in the database and it does contain
    these characters -- somewhere between Unix, Apache and PHP these are
    being converted and I do not understand where. Its not my script - we
    tested with a plain cut and paste script from php.net on MySQL and the
    same thing. I also made sure the characters where not in the
    underlying html and they are not.

    Help --

    System SunOS knot 5.8 Generic_108528-12 sun4u
    Apache Version Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) PHP/4.3.10
    OCI8 Support enabled
    Revision $Revision: 1.183.2.16 $
    Oracle Version 9.2

    I have the full phpinfo generated contents - if there are things I
    should check please let me know.

      If this is coming from Oracle, what's your NLS_LANG environment variable set
      to?
