Hi,
Unluckly my OS crashed few days ago, after the re-insatllation and restore the database to the new installed system, i found that all chinese characters was dispalyed as ?.
After restore the DB to the new system, all chinese characters become ? on coppermine web page. the strange thing is that when I view the content of the DB by MySQL Query Browser, i can see the chinese characters with no problem. I then test the system by typing chinese on the web page (like creating a new album category), those chinese displayed normally on the page, however, when i review the just created category in the database, it is not readable (i.e. #34$%6).
So my case is, the original (from the original DB) chinese characters displayed as ???? on the web page but displayed normally on the query browser. Howerver, newly typed chinese characters displayed normally on the web page but shows strange characters on the query browser.
Please help, i got huge number of photos and chinese characters in my old DB, i don't want to re-type all those chinese or rebuild my coppermine.....please HELP!!!!!!!!!! THX.
