Problem

Possible Duplicate: UTF-8 all the way through I'm developing some new features on a website that somebody else already developed. I'm having a problem the charset. I saw that the database had some tables in utf8 and some in latin1 So I'm trying to convert all the tables in UTF8. I did it for one table (also the fields of this table now are utf8), but was not successful. I'm using the normal mysql connect. I have to put any config to say that it must connect with utf8 to the DB? If yes witch one?
