    Hi, I have a problem with encoding: how to change the data charset to UTF as my db is UTF8 and the submitted data look like "Ä™" or "Å" (I've tried to save the files in utf charset and changed <head> <meta charset/> but it doesn't seem to work properly?)

    maybe you need to disable this apache feature:

    AddDefaultCharset Off

    Just place this code in you .htaccess file (root)

    looks good to me (the register page), the static text and also the text from the messages.

    How about the text that stored om your database ? for example the company name?

    ... just noticed that not all pages are having good encoding:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Example new Passwort activation</title>
</head>

<body>
<h2>Att. !</h2>
<p style="color:#FF0000;"><b>Twoje konto użytkownika zostało zmodyfikowane.</b></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<!-- Notice! you have to change this links here, if the files are not in the same folder -->
<p><a href="/classes/access_user/login.php">Login</a></p>

</body>
</html>

    check this too.

    Hi,
    I disabled logging in since registering is not yet finished.
    I did set htaccess
    But still data in 'users' table looks like:
    (24, 'blabla', '4a7d1ed414474e4033ac29ccb8653d9b', 'bez błędów z', 'bez błędów z', 'olaf@lederer.nl', '56456', 'bez błędów z', '46456', 'bez błędów z', '33', '33', 'bez błędów z', '4545', '', '0000-00-00 00:00:00', '', 1, 'y');
    I think I'll just store text in such encoding as it is now and then do some coding yoga to make it display right, thanx anyways

    don't check via phpmyadmin

    look if you have you page in utf-8 encoded and your forms are send via some utf-8 encoded page you're fine. If you edit text files using utf-8 you need a good text editor, I use PSPad.
