Помогите разобраться с кодировкой

Сайт работает все нормально
Поставил туда это чудо http://forum.marzochi.ws/thread-139.html , и при выборке с помощью данного хака вот такая ерунда получается, в опере норм показывает, в мозиле глюк , на локалке все работало ок, перенес на хост и начались проблемы с кодировкой(((

вот код хака для engine/engine.php

так как сайт в кодировке 1251 то в коде поменял

  if ( $config['charset'] == "utf-8" AND $config['charset'] != detect_encoding($xf) ) {
                $xf = iconv( "UTF-8", "utf-8//IGNORE", $xf );

на

if ( $config['charset'] == "windows-1251" AND $config['charset'] != detect_encoding($xf) ) {
                $xf = iconv( "UTF-8", "windows-1251//IGNORE", $xf );

но проблема осталась сайт чтобы посмотреть сайт

в базе везде сравнение cp1251_general_ci
сохранил базу и поменял все utf8 на cp1251 и все UTF-8 на windows-1251 потом снова загрузил базу на сервер, результата ноль, на локалке все ок
