Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: oracle replaces ISO-8859-1 characters with question marks
It was a client issue. Everything worked from the command-line sqlplus
when I set the environment variable:
export NLS_LANG=american_america.WE8ISO8859P1
It's strange that Oracle didn't set this up along with all the other
environment
variables it configured during the install. Maybe someone in our
organization deleted it from the environment.
I'm accessing the database from PHP so I have to set the NLS_LANG environment variable before I start Apache.
Yours,
Noah
