I just found this hint: "pdo doesn't care about charsets. if you want to have your connection in unicode / utf-8 or any other encoding, you'll have to tell your database, for example using $dbh->exec('SET CHARACTER SET utf8') (mysql)" But what is with Tables like this: SET CHARACTER SET utf8; CREATE TABLE newtable ( Id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, NewField varchar(255) default NULL, NewField2 varbinary(255) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (Id) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=2 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; If I now SELECT something, Id and NewField is UTF8 but NewField2 is still binary (like a JPEG). Is there an option or is this not implemented? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43891&edit=1
