In previous Version this code worked, hat all words on site were set to UTF8: mysql_query(\”SET NAMES \’utf8\’\”); In new php-Version I see \”M�nchen\” instead of \”München\”. What is the correspondence for this line in mysql for the same effect?

In new php-Version I get charset errors like \”M�nchen\” instead of \”München\”. Thus, what is the correspondence for this line in mysqli to get the right charset?

If you are using it for phpgrid, it is included inside library to use UTF8 as default encoding.
If you using independently, we can refer: http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.set-charset.php
mysqli_set_charset($link, “utf8”)
where $link is $link = mysqli_connect(…);

thanx, yes it was in external PHP-Code. I use now <?php echo utf8_encode($variablename);?>
