Charsets and encoding

Post by svata »

Hello! I have questions about charsets and encoding. I am running my page, made in CMS Made Simple 0.12.1 "Savusavu" on MySQL 4.1.10-log. The page is in Czech language. I am using the default encoding UTF-8. But when I connect to MySQL database using PhpMyAdmin, all tables are in a charset “cp1250_general_ci”. Is it normal?

How can I change encoding in my database to UTF-8?

How can I preserve the encoding, when I want move my database to other server? (I have only access to my database via PhpMyAdmin, bacause my web is hosted on free webhosting)...

That should be IMHO not a problem cause it's only the collation. It comes from Webserver and have nothing to do with CMSms - for instance my xampp said "latin1_general_ci" but I'm using also utf-8 ...
