Damn, I wish I would understand your language. It's not really understandable for me why some characters work and why others don't.

Maybe you can ask the language maintainer of your language if he has an idea?

Do you use the WYSIWYG editor? Try to turn it off and see if that helps?

And maybe testing with a different browser might make a difference?

Could you post some details, so we can help other users with similar problems? In particular:
Which version of MySQL has this problem?
Can we find a bug report elsewhere, and if so, where?
Is this likely to be a problem with other languages?

but we can solve this problem with :

Code: Select all

<?
str_replace("�?","ف", $main);
?>
but we must buffer output first .

dear Garvin,

it happen because of collations in MySQL 4.1.x and MySQL 5.x...
for native languages, it should be in that native collation and for UTF8, it should be in unicode.

dear carp3, what is your MySQL version??

You might want to try out the serendipity 1.1-alpha snapshots then; they have support for issuing the "SET NAMES utf8" MySQL commands that should recitfy such situations...
