Does anyone have any recommendations for software to import/export to/from Excel to MySQL as well as the ability to update records manually. I am currently using EMS SQL Manager for SQL 2007.

I was also told about possible using FileMaker to perform the same actions, but couldn't see where I could update records manually.

One last thing, my apostrophes are not completely converting and are showing up as special characters. I have the table set to UTF-8 as well as am using the php code $var=htmlentities($row['VAR], ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8'); Could it be that the first conversion, from InDesign to Excel, be creating this problem?

I found Navicat software...but the special characters still are not rendering correctly.

Any suggestions?

You shouldn't need the htmlentities function, just send this header before any output:

<?php
header
('Content-type: text/html; Charset=UTF-8');
?>
