We just moved from a VPS to a dedicated server. There we did an update from 5.2.12 to 5.2.14 (both CENTOS 6.5 and same db release, but different provider). Now we have a problem with special characters. Most of our customers come from Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland. The old and the new MySQL db have same collation (utf8mb4_general_ci). Most static data like text for links in admin menu or static data for client are fine, but data in generated emails, access logs, etc., show up as corrupted. Example: At the database table cc_CubeCart_access one can see a column 'user_id' and its content 'Götz'. See attachment 1. But if you open CubeCart's admin to have a look on the access log there, you see 'GÄxtz'. See attachment 2. The apache works with charset UTF-8. I am not a Linux expert but it seems that PHP procedures with access to the database cause our problems. i have no clue how to solve this. Any ideas? We are already a little desperate. Tom

Hello guys, I'm running one stores with german language. On the page allover the charset seems to be right, but when a customer buys, he gets the automatic emails with ä,ü,ö displayed. How can I fix it, where is the .php data to fix? How can i get these chars to display? Re-typing the German characters in /language didn`t help. I use php mail function. Regards, Atomreaktor
