Hi all,

I have a search string which works just fine with php 4.4.9 and my local
host but some how its not working with php version 4.4.7.

Search is for a Swedish name with special characters like - åre - I am able
to display these characters properly on the browser. the only problem is
with searching keywords with special characters like above from the
database.

In php version 4.4.9 if we search for - åre - we get around 26 records
which
is correct. but when we search the same in php version 4.4.7 (with same
coding and same database) it retracts over 11,000 records - which is not
correct. Database version for both servers is - MySQL client version:
5.0.51a

I have a deadline tomorrow and wonder if you could please help me out? the
problem could be because of php versions or it has to be in my codes?

Thanks in advance,
Bipul

I think your problem is Db related. Try cross testing the databases with
the different PHP versions, to make sure where the problem is.
