Php to AS! something strange

1

hy,

I have in my database a field with a german character : " Häuser " .I enter this field directly into the database via mysql manager

printing the mysql_query returns the correct field : " Häuser "

but when I try to send the information to AS, the letter “ä” is not recognized.

I tried the following solutions :

  1. var_for_AS=rawurlencode(“Häuser”);
    and send the var_for_AS to AS : no change, the ä is not recognized (=> it gets something like a small cube)

  2. rawurlencode(“Häuser”); is something like h%E4user
    I did a copy/paste directly into the database field
    => nothing changed, AS prints a small cube

  3. I tried Stripslashes but it doesn’t make any sense because the data is added directly into the database and not via a php script.

so, there is no ADDSLASHES, and STRIPSLASHES doesn’t make any sense

HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP

Conclusion :
I add the data directly into the database and not via a php script
php prints the correct word : " Häuser "
but AS can’t read the " ä "

I don’t know what to do now !!! HELP :link:

thanks for your help
