title: cakephp encoding from database
body: <p>I have problem with encoding characters from database. I am using Postgres with win1250 encoding, but whatever I put in core.php (right now I have this line of code):</p>
  
  <pre><code>Configure::write('App.encoding', 'iso-8859-1');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>sometimes it give me some strange letters from database, for example È indstead of Č. Is there anything that I can do to get correct encoding.</p>
  
  <p><strong>NOTE</strong>: I can't edit or change anything to database.</p>
