IE loves converting native character to unicode characters like &1234; This won't happen for Netscape.

Any idea to solve?

Hi All,

There's probably a simple explanation for this:

I am using a Freebsd, mySQL, PHP4 server and am updating the database from a remote computer using a browser. I have copied and modified one of the character set files to support the arabic character set, using ISO 8859-6 as a reference...

I have NT Arabic running internet explorer 5, and I can enter the information correctly however when the information is retrieved, some arabic characters are not displayed correctly.

Does anyone know why this might be the case?

Regards,

Hi!

MySQL will return char string just as it was inserted / updated. Only if escaping is performed, string will be returned unescaped.

Therefore, if Arabic chars are not displayed correctly, this is possibly a bug in Browser or it's setup.
