Hello to all.
I'm making a database with greek data entry. I have 12 fields in the database. I dont know why, but i have problem
with capital "Π". it seams that it is not recognize this character but the strange is that this happens in the same column .
I have attach a picture to see the problem.
My second question is that i want to add an action button in each row. When you click it i want to generate a pdf (Such as crystal report) with some values from the specific row.
How to do it?

Thanks

Can you give the structure of the table? For example:


CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `employees` (
`employeeNumber` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`lastName` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`firstName` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`extension` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`officeCode` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
`file_url` varchar(250) CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT NULL,
`jobTitle` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`employeeNumber`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1703 ;

I never had a problem with the letter Π , you can also confirm that from the examples of the website. Make sure that all the files and are utf8 encoded and the database is [b]utf8_general_ci[/b]
