How to fix encoding when connecting via odbc?

Question

PHP

I connect the MS Access database via odbc_connect in PHP like this:

$db = odbc_connect("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=d:\XXX\X.mdb;", $user, $password);

Everything is connected, but Russian letters are displayed as questions. I tried adding ClientCharset=utf-8 and Charset=utf-8 and many more options, no changes. I've been scratching my head all day.
I found a similar problem on one of the forums, the author wrote that he fixed it in MS Access, but did not specify how.

Answer 1

Here manipulations are described, something similar to your case. forum.php.su/topic.php?forum=78&topic=4450

Answer 2

maybe cp-1251?

Answer 3

I had this problem in odbc v 3.51.3 on Windows XP. You need to specify cp1251 in the connection settings. At the same time, on the server for the base I have utf8_general_ci
