Getting data with UTF-8 charset from MSSQL server using PHP FreeTDS extension

Question

I can\'t seem to get data from MSSQL encoded as UTF-8 using FreeTDS extension.

Connecting:

ini_set(\'mssql.charset\', \'UTF-8\');
$this->_resource         


        

Answer 1

You should change your TDS version based on what version of SQL server your using. Check out the installation guide for details.
