Special character problem

3 New Member
Hi
I am picking records from xml file and saving them into mysql database. I am When I insert records, the special characters like ö,å,ä are being transformed into some unwanted values.
I tried to insert those values manualy by giving
insert into table_name..... . this command on command line.
It works fine and store even special characters as well.
But when I Pick the record from xml and insert them into mysql it does not insert ö,ä,å etc.
Note: Data is correct in xml file, and special characters are saved in xml file properly and I can view them correctly.

I would be greatly thankful if you please suggest any solution.
Thank you.

I would quess that this has something to do with the charsets of the XML document and the MySQL table.

If you copy special characters from a XML using ITF charset into a table using ISO charset, the original characters will be copied incorrectly.

If I do a search and replace on the characters changing them to HTML entities instead of using CDATA, DOM chokes up again. If I do a combination of both (search and replace then add as Character Data) it does not choke, but the RSS...
