Hello,
I have a database on Firebird 1.5 on a windows server with the
characterset WIN1252. Now I have request some data with PHP with
characterset UTF-8. What would be the best way to convert the data?
1. Read the data in WIN1252 and convert with iconv or
2. Is it right, if I connect to the database with UTF-8, that the
database engine convert the data itselve? or
3. Is there another way, which would be better?
Thank's for advices.
