Re: mySQL access to extended ASCII characters

[Alexander Barkov]

It does not look like a MySQL problem.

Try fhe folllowing:

1. Check that your PHP script send proper charset information:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-n8

2. Check that browser gets charset information correctly.

For example, in Moziilla:

View -> Character Set

3. Check whether data gets grabled during INSERT or during SELECT:

SELECT hex(itemString) FROM myItems;

Perhaps one of the above will help to find the reason of the problem.

About upgrading from 4.0 to 4.1, please take a look into the manual.
