Utf-8 charset problem with text importet from database

Post by olavt »

I am importing texts to CMS sites with user defined tags, using SQL searches. In these texts non-ascii characters are not displayed correctly. The charset in both the database (MySQL) and CMS is set to utf-8. The text is imported from the same database (but different tables) as CMS is using.

I had the same problem with RSS-feeds importet with RSS2HTML, but found in CMS Forum that there is a bug in the rss_fetch.inc file in the "magpierss" directory for this module. A change in this file, and the problem was solved.

Now I wonder if there is at bug of the same kind in the CMS core, overriding the utf-8 setting when importing text from an external source.
