Hi, i’m using amfphp in order to query a mysql database. The results are set to a dataprovider by the way of the flash remotingconnector component. I can print the datas, but all the specials chars like “é”, “è”, “à” (frenck :D) are missing, just show “?” char instead.  
Is there a way to encode the chars on the fly ? or do i have to update all my mysql database with encoded chars…  
Thanks for your answers !!
