i was working on a website for family but i fount a problem i can't fix and google didn't help either..
i had a problem with transoprt of a website i made, i made the website database in latin1-swedish-ci.
but the website is made in uft-8, no problems on my host but when i transported the web page i see everywhere a question mark.
my question is how to make the database work with the char set utf-8. i tryed to make the collection to utf8-bin but nothing happents.
Thankyou,
Sander
( sorry for my poor english )

You could either establish the connection via charset latin-swedish-ci
and get the data correctly, or change the data inside the database into utf8 (via mysql_set_charset('utf8', $link);
).
Remember that by changing the charset for data, I mean doing it for the database, table, and the fields. Not just the database, or the table.
