String in mysql php and phpmyadmin different

[HeadBut]

When I set a varchar field to "Kee's" I get "Kee�s" or "Keeís" in my php pages, but it's handled properly by PHPMYADMIN. I'm not sure how PHPMYADMIN is doing it but I think I should do it the same way.

Anyone know how PHPMYADMIN handles these string.. both going in and comming out?

Wow! even this site is messing up the text!
Many Thanks

Hello...

I'm guessing that it automatically adds slashes when it is needed. You should try that manually to see if that fixes your problem.

Hope this helps!
