    <p>I've ran into a problem, but can't tell whether it is PHP or Windows' command line. When a PHP script tries to echo UTF-8 characters into cmd with UTF-8 codepage loaded, the process stops unexpectedly. Here is a case:</p> <p>test1.php:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php error_reporting( -1 ); echo 'АБВГДЕЁЖЗИЙКЛМНОПРСТУФХЦЧШЩЫЭЮЯ', "\n"; echo "OK"; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>test2.php:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php error_reporting( -1 ); echo 'ASCII: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', "\n"; echo 'UTF-8: АБВГДЕЁЖЗИЙКЛМНОПРСТУФХЦЧШЩЫЭЮЯ', "\n"; echo 'UTF-8: АБВГДЕЁЖЗИЙКЛМНОПРСТУФХЦЧШЩЫЭЮЯ', "\n"; echo "OK"; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>(Both test1.php and test2.php are saved in UTF-8 without BOM.)</p> <p>The command prompt log:</p> <pre><code>e:\tests&gt;chcp 1252 Active code page: 1252 e:\tests&gt;php -f test1.php АБВГДЕЁЖЗРЙКЛМНОПРСТУФХЦЧШЩЫЭЮЯ OK e:\tests&gt;php -f test2.php ASCII: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ UTF-8: АБВГДЕЁЖЗРЙКЛМНОПРСТУФХЦЧШЩЫЭЮЯ UTF-8: АБВГДЕЁЖЗРЙКЛМНОПРСТУФХЦЧШЩЫЭЮЯ OK e:\tests&gt;chcp 65001 Active code page: 65001 e:\tests&gt;php -f test1.php e:\tests&gt;php -f test2.php ASCII: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ UTF-8: АБВГДЕЁЖЗИЙКЛМНОПРСТУФХЦЧШЩЫЭЮЯ e:\tests&gt; </code></pre> <p>While in 1252 mode, all characters get echoed (although not correctly, of course). But in 65001 (UTF-8) mode test1 stalls on the very first character while test2 stalls on the first one of the second UTF-8 row.</p> <p>PHP version is:</p> <pre><code>PHP 5.4.13 (cli) (built: Mar 15 2013 02:07:14) Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies </code></pre> <p>Windows is XP SP3.</p> <p>Update:</p> <p>1) If I change <code>echo</code> to:</p> <pre><code>$f = fopen( 'php://stdout', 'w' ); fwrite( $f, ... ); ... close( $f ); </code></pre> <p>it works.</p> <p>2) If I redirect the output:</p> <pre><code>e:\tests&gt;php -f test1.php &gt; out.log </code></pre> <p>it also works (with <code>echo</code>).</p> <p>But what is wrong with the first case?</p>

    1. COI thought, maybe the problem was the cmd itself, but if I call `type test2.php` (or any other UTF-8 file), it works.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
