Hi, I having a bit of a problem with Russian characters. I'm building a sort of English into Russian Translator. The problem is that every time i enter and English word it outputs in as Question Marks. See for yourself, type ' and ' for something or ' abandon ' http://cms-stu-iis.gre.ac.uk/cm541/index.php Ive set the collation to cp1251 in my database and that recognized the russian characters in there and i thought it would when i translate the word and it does not. I know i need to to set the charset in my php code, but i have no idea where and how to go about it. Can anyone help? Thank you
