Question

Statement is similar to this –

$sql = "SELECT foo1, foo2, foo3, fooDate1, fooDate2, 'Open' FROM some.table";

And I get back in HTML this

1   801566  11451   06/21/2011  06/22/2011  ����

I assume this has something to do with character encoding?

Edit:

I found the solution on Zend forums.

“2. Add the following line to Apache configuration file /www/zendsvr/con/httpd.conf :
DefaultFsCCSID 37”

Answer 1

Try using double quotes:

$sql = "SELECT foo1, foo2, foo3, fooDate1, fooDate2, \"Open\" FROM some.table";
