Topic: Having problems with Ž character

Hi,
I am using Mysql 5.0.22 and php 5.1.4 on my Gentoo box. The problem is that then I post that character (? or ?) punBB do not write it into the DB. Even the symbols that are after ? or ? wouldn't be written in the database.
For example:
then I write post like "??????asd asd niekalas", after submiting it, it will just show the empty post.
Another example:
then I write post like "niekaliukas ???????asd", after submiting it, it will just show the word "niekaliukas".

So... Any ideas how to fix it?

P.S. ? and ? are the symbols from Lithuanian language.

Thanks for reading it..

P.P.S. debug mode shows:
no error. Everything after ? or ? just disapears..

However, then I write sequence "???" in the post, I get error

File: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phpBB/include/search_idx.php
Line: 149

PunBB reported: Unable to insert search index words

Database reported: Duplicate entry '' for key 1 (Errno: 1062)

Re: Having problems with Ž character

Have you tried changing your forums/database to UTF-8? Plenty of people here have done that, so it can't be that hard tongue

Yup, I did it. The problem remains... Still. And this problem is only with ? and ? symbol. All others (???????? and etc) works fine

I see just ? characters instead of ? then. BTW, the problem also egzists with ? character.
P.S. fixed that search indexing error.
