MySQLi won't return certain strings from DB?

[ultddave]

Also strings with quotes are not returned.

I tried replacing < and > with entities like &lt; and &gt; etc. But strings containing those are not returned either. I seriously don't see what's the problem.

Database uses: MySQL - 5.0.82sp1

When I use normal mysql statements instead of mysqli, it does work.

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `entries`");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    extract($row);
    echo $body;
}
