PhpMyAdmin and German

I am developing a PHP / MySQL application using vertrigoserver. I need to enter german text in tables. The problem is when I read tables from PHP some of the characters do not display the exact typed one. Are additional steps needed to effectively display all symbols?

You have to set your database fields utf8_general

and hence force your MySQL connection to use UTF-8 .

mysql_connect();
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");


As long as you are displaying the results via (x) html, you should set the headers correctly as well.

Did you set the correct character set in the tables when creating them?



You must set them to a character set that ümlaut supports, etc.
