Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-03-06 17:15:39] requinix@php.net This is unlikely to be a bug with PDO. Check that you are using UTF-8 (or whichever encoding) for all aspects of the database - do "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%conn%'" to see. Then make sure whatever you're using to read the database is connecting properly as well, and that the output is in UTF-8 too. And obviously, the file must be in UTF-8 encoding as well since you're hardcoding the string in it. Also check that you get the same behavior with mysql/mysqli using the exact same connection parameters, and with PDO's regular (non-prepared) queries. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-03-06 16:25:14] michael dot kaiser at winzeldorf dot de Description: ------------ It is not possible to insert turkish UTF8 characters (like in the name Elit İşcan) into a MySQL database via PDO. I tried MyISAM tables and InnoDB tables. I tried utf8, utf16, utf32, utfmb4 and ISO 8859-9 Turkish (latin 5) Test script: --------------- // Does not work: $query = "INSERT INTO utf8test (Name) VALUES ("Elit İşcan")"; $pdo = $db->prepare($query); $pdo->execute(); // Results in entry "Elit ??can". Expected result: ---------------- Database entry should read "Elit İşcan" Actual result: -------------- Database entry is "Elit ??can" Old MySQL command works: $query = "INSERT INTO utf8test (Name) VALUES ("Elit İşcan")"; mysql_query(query); Results in entry "Elit İşcan". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74212&edit=1
