Summary:	problem to read/save special characters
Description:	My database tables are created with utf8 encoding, but special characters (like german umlauts) are not displayed correctly with phpMyEdit. Do not edit and save content with special characters. You will save a character encoding mix into your database.
Steps To Reproduce:	use german umlauts like öäüß, or Euro €
Additional Information / Solution:	adding mysql_query('set character set utf8;'); to the function sql_connect() helped. With this command, the mysql database will deliver utf8 characters to Apache. The database will manage it, even if the database table is not utf8.
