We are desperate for help finding the problem in our Zen Cart store. We are using a Japanese language pack and everything was working great for almost 2 years, but our host decided to upgrade their PHP/MySQL version and suddenly the communication between the database and Zen Cart are not functioning in UTF-8 any longer.
Everything displays correctly in phpMyAdmin, but shows up as "???" when loaded by the browser.
Our setup:
URL: http://lae.xtr.jp
Zen Cart 1.3.8a with UTF-8/Japanese language pack
PHP/MySQL 5.1.45
What we have already tried:
Restoring database from backup
Doing fresh install
Installed
Upgrading to Zen Cart 1.3.9d (same problem)
Installing website on a different server running PHP 5.0.45 and running all the same attempted fixes (same problem, so the issue is not the server)
We greatly appreciate any assistance in tracking this problem down as our store is pretty much dead in the water until we get this fixed.
