Missing charset in phpmyadmin. What to do?

Question

A friend asked me to add a php dynamic panel in his site whitch is generated by sum web based site generator. I am bulgarian and we use cp1251 edncoding whitch is Cyrillic Windows. But the site is generated with iso-8859-5 charset and is inpossible to convert it. If I use different cyr charset there are only question marks displayed in the page. And this encoding iso-8859-5 does not exsits in phpmyadmin. Give me please some advise what to do. Thank you very much.

I've tried to use utf8 in the mysql but the result is the same. — Victor

I would look for a way to convert project to... unicode/UTF-8. And a database to unicode/UTF-8. It's not impossible, but will save you a lot of pain in the future. The problem you have is just a beginning, those who are not using unicode are burning in eternal fire >:-E~ — Silver Light
