Hey!  
im using a form i made in flash to send variables to a MySql Database.  
code for form:  
[AS]  
//trace(email1.text+", “+question1.text+”, "+check1.selected);  
status1.text  
send1.onPress = function () {  
status1.text = “sending…”;  
var ld:LoadVars = new LoadVars ();  
var reciever:LoadVars = new LoadVars();  
ld.email1 = email1.text;  
ld.question1 = question1.text;  
ld.public1 = check1.selected;  
trace (ld);  
ld.sendAndLoad (‘[http://www.valj.nu/live/script/ny.php](http://www.valj.nu/live/script/ny.php)’, reciever, ‘POST’);  
reciever.onLoad = function () {

```
	trace("Recieved info -&gt; "+reciever);
    status1.text = "Sent!";
	
 };               

```

};  
[/AS]  
Its sends it perfectly well to the databse thru this page:

```php

<?
include("dbconnect.php");
$email = $_POST['email1'];
$question = $_POST['question1'];
$public = $_POST['public1'];
$question = stripslashes($question);
$email = stripslashes($email);
$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO nya (email , fråga , datum , publiceras)
        VALUES('$email', '$question', now(),'$public')")
        or die (mysql_error());
?>

```

however in the database if i have used the swedish letters ÄÅÖ äåö  
it looks like this:

“hejsan  
jag Heter VoS  
Jag Är från Sverige  
Öland…”

this is just a text i typed in one of the fields, its supposed to look like this:  
“hejsan  
jag heter VoS  
Jag Är från Sverige  
Å öland”

anyone abel to tell my why, and more importantly how i fix it?

thanks
