Research direction

Start by reproducing the import with example.xls using the attached excel_reader2.php and index.php, then compare the Polish characters shown in the HTML with those stored in MySQL. Inspect the attached files and screenshots for the import and encoding configuration; done means the imported characters are stored correctly in the database and displayed correctly in the HTML.
