I have similiar problem, in my localhost MySQL 4.1 and PHP 5.0.5 works Czech characters fine, but on providers MySQL 4.1 and PHP 5.0.5 charakters are wrong. For encoding for czech characters I use ISO-8859-2.
I edit .\phpbb\upload\include\dblayer\mysql.php file and change this:
if ($p_connect) {
$this->link_id = @mysql_pconnect($db_host, $db_username, $db_password);
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'latin2'",$this->link_id);
}
still doesnt work.
Any help? Please...
EDIT: I fixed this problem, my fault. Apologize... Works fine
