Question

Well i am trying to make XML from database..but one the field has the following value

Noobé

As you can see there is small dash like above ‘e’

I tried to utf8_encode the field but it does not work

I even tried to utf8 in header it did not work..

Can u guys suggest me a function by which i can overcome the above problem..

I also have a similar problem regarding a ‘–’ obtained by Microsoft word

Answer 1

I had a problem with accented characters not long ago. What worked for me was to add this line after my PHP code used to connect to the database :

mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
