I am running into a character problem and I am seeking a little advice.
The client is moving his code from one server to another. The destination
server has MySQL 4.0.7 and the host will not upgrade. The source server has
MySql 4.1.22.
On the source server a string with an apostrophe that was written to the
database displays properly. Porting those data to the destination site, and
using the same code, produces strange results. For example, the apostrophe
(value=39) displays as the characters for the sequence with values of 226,
128, 153.
If I put in a new string with an apostrophe via php code on the destination
server, then retrieval of that string displays properly there.
For the old strings I have tried stripslashes, but this had no effect.
This is not the only situation. The word cafe, for example, with the
(whatever-kind-it-is) accent also displays poorly ont the destination
server.
In summary: On the destination system all new data will display properly.
However, old data do not.
Suggestions?
