I have two .php files, a form with a text field where you put the names you want to search in the database, and a results file that processes the post…

The names in the database will be searched using this query:

SELECT * FROM acw_papers_web web 
INNER JOIN acw_papers_web_autores aut 
ON web.id_paper_web = aut.id_paper_web 
WHERE aut.nombre_autor_pw LIKE '%autorname%' 
ORDER BY web.probabilidad DESC

The problem is that when I send the post, insted of sending lópez, it sends lópez…

How can I fix it… both .php files are utf-8 encoded…

    Since you did not provide much information, I cannot exactly pinpoint the problem. But here are two possible solutions:

    1. Set the correct charset in the <head> of both files:

      <meta charset="UTF-8" /> for HTML5 or <meta http-eqiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> for everything else

    2. Set the character set of the database tables to UTF-8. In MySQL:

      ALTER TABLE acw_papers_web CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
      ALTER TABLE acw_papers_web_autores CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

    That’s all I could think of, for now.
