I type in Russian... I can't understand why all Russian words and text, posts are ok, but what I try to save in setting.php no.

$conf = array(
'site_name' => 'HERE IS MY TITLE',
'theme_default' => 'aurora2',
'anonymous' => 'HERE ALSO RUSSIAN WORD',
);

in file setting.php these words look ok, but in site just ?????????

in mysql i use utf-8 general_ci encoding..

I've had that problem myself, Russian just doesn't seem to code well in PHP scripts. Are you able to save the Russian, I mean does it actually look like Russian, but not display properly? Because it may be the way that you are typing the Russian with your keyboard. I know that I've had a ton of problems with my coding because a lot of programs reject the typing mode I'm using for Russian characters.

(I'm not at my own PC, so I can't look up the details, but I will later)

it';s hard for me to save info about my site via admin panel (permission of setting.php changes so fast from 777 into 555) so saving doesn't work well. That's why I just open setting.php and there write title of my site in Russian and it looks after saving ok (just in setting.php and in mysql) but NOT on site when i open it in browser.

hmm.. problem is solved... I don't know what I did... but I did it... changed smth in mysql and changed back... and slashed all these $conf = array(
'site_name' => 'HERE IS MY TITLE',
'theme_default' => 'aurora2',
'anonymous' => 'HERE ALSO RUSSIAN WORD',
); and so on....

actually i didn't understand how i solved it.. but at least everything works..
i think it was just one of the woman way to solve problem

anyway thanx to all
