I have made a guestbook in flash that when someone write their name and
comment, and press submit, the text get exported to a php-page that again put
it in a mysql database. It works ok. But the problems is that when someone use
foreign letters (like "å"), the resulting letter ends in "Ã¥"

I have NO idea how to fix this. Does anyone know?

The thing about charset in the DB is a new topic for me (and tell me off as a
bit of beginner :)
I went into the DB, and it says there that column charset is set as latin1,
vith column collate set on latin1_danish_ci.
This is a norwegian site, where both english and norwegian comments is made.
What should I set it to?
