Hi,
I do not know if this problem was already posted, but a search for php 5.3 only got me a blank page.
Ok the problem is the following:
We have an older test area with openSUSE 11.1 running and no problems so far. We back this server up to another server with the same OS and never had problems. Both running PHP 5.2.x and MySQL 5.0.x.As we set up a server on an old pc for testing purposes with the latest openSUSE 11.2 and PHP 5.3 and MySQL 5.1.x and tried to copy the tiki on this machine all the special characters (Umlaute like ä, ö or ü) wouldn't be displayed properly but like they are stored in the database like Ãœ (I hope it wouldn't be displayed as an Ü here but rather as it would be stored in the database).
This happened on several installations on different machines and on different virtual machines - it all works without problems in the old environment but has problems under the new.
I also hope that Ü will be displayed not as HTML Code but as the real character as i cannot type in the ue through this vncviewer.
It was tested with the 3.x release. And i guess we once tried it too with the 4.x release with the same problem.
As solution we downgraded to an older PHP Version. Also it is possible to write a small php script to replace all Ãœ to Üor ue and the same with the other special characters. But therefore you need to know all special characters with all the corresponding (I guess it would be) utf8 codes.
