PHP - Multiforum Url Issues

Hello, I'm having troubles parsing text properly.  Whenever I submit data into a mysql db, and then call that specific data, in the text, I get this symbol,  �.  Does anybody know what it is or how to remove it?  I believe it's with utf-8 and me using a function that corrupts the string but I'm not sure.  Anybody have any clues?  Thanks in advance.

i am trying to sort out a session now,

i normally use the folllowing code to check if someone is logged in and if they are not to forward them to the login page,
but i am getting this message:

Notice: Undefined index: username in

code:
Code: [Select]
if ($_SESSION['username']) {
}else{
 include 'login.php';
 die("");
}

can someone help please.

Issue # 1

Issue # 2
I am trying to display data from four different tables with the following sql query:
(The problem is that the data is getting displayed fine but i don't know why some of the (same )data gets repeated two or three times where as i checked in all four tables and all the data exists one time not twice)
If anything wrong with my query kindly help

SELECT distinct *
FROM applicant,applicant_info_nic,room,student
WHERE applicant_info_nic.status='Available' and  applicant.appNIC=applicant_info_nic.appNIC and applicant.roomID=room.roomID and applicant.appNIC=student.appNIC
ORDER BY applicant.roomID

Hey all,

I can not get utf-8 working properly.

I'm having issues with special characters, such as bullets, e with an accent over it, etc.

The data is being stored in my mssql database properly, and I can see everything there fine. It's when I grab it from the database and display it on my php page. The page it set up to utf-8, if I go to Tools>Page Info, it says encoding is utf-8. I have it in my headers, I just can not figure out why it will not display on the page.

Any thoughts?

Hey,

I'm editting some code on an OS Commerce install, For some reason I dont get the various buttons displaying.
Underneath the shopping basket, it is supposed to show a view cart button and a checkout button, but they dont show up.

I'm also trying to edit it to use a layout of the stylesheet, Basically if you look at my website, you will see the categories list, these are generated by an <ul><li> code, which puts the background underneath the item name, I would like to do the same thing and limit the charactors in the name to say 50 (so they stay on one line)

Can you point me in the right direction to set an <li> on each item in the cart, and change it to UCWORDS, and restrict the charactors please?

Any ideas on why the images dont show up on the page?
