Your entire setup has to be UTF-8. That means your web page, PHP, the database connection, AND the database tables, all have to be in UTF-8 mode. Given it works in the admin pages and not via script, I'm guessing it's your database connection.
Try doing a set names='utf-8' before doing your insert query, and see if that fixes things. If it does, then your db connection is using some OTHER character set and mangling your text as it goes from PHP->database.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
