database connection - SQL Server 2000 charset issues -

-

once again charset issues when talking db's :)

i have 2 enviroments running zend server. bot of these communicate sql server 2000 using mssql extension. none of them has value given charset in settings of extension. 1 works , other 1 returns data in wrong encoding.

the problem became noticed when data beeing inserted mysql database , screamed sqlstate[hy000]: general error: 1366 incorrect string value: '\xf6m' column 'cust_lastname' @ row 1.

i tried using set names utf8 sql server connection return correct data, complains , says names not recognized set statement. looking around people recommend using doesn't seem part of sql server 2000 :)

so, should do? how i, without fiddling sql server database/tables, tell send me data in utf-8 encoded format?

edit:

some more info...

  • sql server uses finnish_swedish_ci_as collation
  • mysql has every table in utf-8 format , uses utf8_unicode_ci

i didn't find solution , ended converting , utf8 in application. if encapsulated within class doesn't riddle code. way tell sql server encoding use during communication better.

php - What is the difference between $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO']? -

-
what’s difference between $_server['path_info'] , $_server['orig_path_info'] ? how use them? when run print_r($_server) , path_info , orig_path_info not present in array. why not? how can enable them? i have read php manual on them, still don’t understand them. the path_info variable present if invoke php script this: http://www.example.com/phpinfo.php/hello_there it's /hello_there part after .php script. if don't invoke url that, there won't $_server["path_info"] environment variable. the porig_ prefix uncommon. path_info standard cgi-environment variable, , should never prefixed. did read that? (there issues around php3/php4 if invoked php interpreter via cgi-bin/ - hardly has such setups today.) for reference: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3875
