Hi!
I`ve got a problem lately: I had to move my sites to the other hosting Co, I transferred all the data, nade the dumps...
But the problem is, that the new server has php5+mysql5 installed.
And when I import the dump - I get just ???? instead of all russian (cyrillic) symbols.
The hosting admin suggested the following procedure:
- while importing set encoding cp1251 in phpmyadmin;
- in operations - collation - also set cp1251_general_ci for that database.
And then I should put this code: mysql_query('set names cp1251'); in the php-file that connects to DB (after connection to DB but before the first query).
I tried to do all that - but the result is the same - I still have ?????? instead of all cyrillic (russian) symbols
Although the dump opened on local computer in wordpad reads normally...
Please help
