Normally i don’t have big issues programming PHP and SQL, but i can’t really figure out what causes this little bug.

I have a page using PHP and fetching data from a MSSQL server.
I use PDO functions to fetch the data from SQL.

Most of the time it works perfect, but if i take out bigger text from the database, for example a Description of a product, Comments on a project etc. a wierd issue occurs.

Let’s say we use $data[‘Description’].

If that variable have longer texts most of the content shows up, but it get mixed with wierd PHP source code from a different file that have nothing to do with the specific position of the actual source code, or a lot of random chars. I thought it was a unicode problem, but i have no problem with æ ø å and letters like that.

For example

Housebox, stativer, komplet kabelsystem til ovenstående

Becomes

Housebox, stat@±¨tl ÿÿÿÿ@ d©tlPA>A.PÒ-rl¨b¥tlÀn0rl ©tlø�ªtlp�ªtl0
jrld@x¥tliver, komplet kabelsystem til ovenstående

How is this possible?

I tried changing the unicode, but the unicode is correct.
