8 years ago Well, it's certainly not the way the characters should be in the database, but it's what has always been working. So this has been kept around.
When it comes to UTF-8 storage and output:
- The HTTP response headers from the website correctly declare UTF-8 as the charset.
- The HTML meta tags do so as well.
- All tables in the database are set to use UTF-8.
So there is no reason not to use UTF-8 everywhere, actually. But again, this is what has always been working.
If it doesn't work for you, maybe you have to adjust the charset for the database connection in zzserver.php, e.g. using:
mysql_set_charset('latin1');
// or
mysql_set_charset('utf8');Perhaps that helps. Otherwise, feel free to convert your database encoding (especially the encoding of the import files) as you like. Anyway, it's definitely possible to make the import work with the current setup and the import files as they are.
Short Question is the data.sql sett corect to utf8? because the "Umalaute" are wrong (ä,ü,ö,etc)
