You could look into htmlentities() (PHP function) wich translates all of those symbols in html-readable code!

Can I get some more information? Is this a $_GET or $_POST method? In the database, does it store the "ñ"?

Also, in the databse, is the row/table in "latin1_spanish_ci" for the Collation?

Its GET Method
The Collation is "latin1_swedish_ci"

The database stored the Spanish letters, just when it displays it on the web page it comes up as �

That's a character encoding problem. You're probably using the default iso (i think) charset. You need UTF-8.
