CakePHP's Models, it doesn't seem to like certain characters and just
replaces them with "?"
I've discovered this because I'm attempting to run batches through the
Console. So, I'm only using a Shell script and the Model in question
and I'm definitely getting "?" where I should be getting ™. I've
verified that my database.php file is using 'encoding' => 'iso-8859-1'
and that my core.php shows Configure::write('App.encoding',
'iso-8859-1'); but neither of these two things is solving the problem.
Cricket: I've finally convinced people here to get rid of the blasted
weird characters and replace with HTML entities, but now the battle is
actually getting that done! Trying to use SQL Server's Import and
Export utility is at least as unsuccessful so far as doing it the
CakePHP way and for a variety of reasons, I'd prefer to go CakePHP.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
