I am changing a code from a news system that came with charset iso ... I now want to change it to utf8.
Now the problem is when I click on read more.

/* end file */
I had added these lines in the query function:
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
mysql_query('SET character_set_connection=utf8');
mysql_query('SET character_set_client=utf8');
mysql_query('SET character_set_results=utf8');
With these I got the news to be listed in utf8.
Now I intend that when I click on read more the news present also in utf8.
