Possibly PHP: Danish characters doesn't display correctly

[Lars Michael]

Hi,

I'm on a Win2000 SP4 using IIS5, PHP4 (CGI-version) and MySQL

My problem is this: Instead of getting nicely formatted danish
characters when I use PHP to retrieve data from MySQL, all I get is a
'}'-character.

If I access the database through a DOS promt, everything looks just
like it should. All characters are formatted correctly.

Executing "print('ÆØÅ')" works fine too, all characters come out
nicely.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
/lmss

The characters above are no danish characters... Some my guess whould
be that when you get corrrect output on a windows machine but not in a
browser, you are using different character encodings... Most probably on
the windows machine it will be some windwos-125x encoding, and the
default iso-8859-1 encoding in the browser...
