Drupal 4.7.x

Hi, I'm not sure if UTF-8 is working, as it should, I’m pretty new to Drupal, Mysql and PHP.

The thing is that everything is looking good in Drupal, Swedish characters is working as expected. But when I’m using phpmyadmin or "Mysql command line client" to look at the data, Swedish characters is junk, the character ä (letter a with two dots over) become ä.

When I’m in a Drupal page is writing "$result = db_query("SELECT * FROM {term_data} d....", the Swedish characters is also junk.

If i dump some data from phpmyadmin the letter ä is 0xc383c2a4 (is this the character ä)??

When I’m doing what http://drupal.org/node/40515 (and other treads) suggests, I’m getting this on every page:
Notice: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 42 of 46 bytes in C:\sites\drupal\includes\bootstrap.inc on line 197
Notice: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 28 of 32 bytes in C:\sites\drupal\includes\bootstrap.inc on line 197
Notice: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 34 of 43 bytes in C:\sites\drupal\includes\bootstrap.inc on line 197

I'm using:
Drupal 4.7.0 beta
PHP 5.1.1 (tried with 5.0.5 before)
MYSQL 5.0.16 (tried with 4.1.15 before)
IIS 6

Server variables and settings from PHPMyadmin:
character set client utf8 utf8
character set connection utf8 utf8
character set database utf8 utf8
character set results utf8 utf8

I am wanting to install drupal in my root directory without the sub-directory /drupal..

Is there any way to do this...

Specifics requested...Not familiar with Drupal at all!!!

Thanks

G'day,

The menu module in 4.7 is awesome.
However, I have a requirement where the secondary links menu should only display the secondary links of the parent menu item.

eg
imagine the menu structure is:

Yummy Food
>Cholcolate
>> Full Cream
>> peppermint
>> rocky road
>Ice Cream
>> Sorbets

When the primary menu is used to select yummy foods the natural behaviour is to populate the secondary links with chocolate and ice cream ( this works creat )

If I use the Collimator module with Drupal 4.7-beta1, I receive "No Data" as result instead of a list of nodes.

Has anyone already got a working version of Collimator for 4.7? Thanks!

I want a button in the form like this (not a submit button but a button type button):

<input class="form-submit" name="op" value="New" type="button">

I use this code:

 $form['New'] = array(
  '#type' => 'button',
  '#value' => t('New'),
  '#weight' => 19,
);

....but I obtain a submit button like this:

The output of the "Submitted by" tagline doesn't show up with 4.7.0 (beta1 and cvs) for *forum* topics (other content types seem to work). A bug? Or maybe I am misunderstanding something. I am using the Drupal standard themes without changes.
