Re: PHP4 mysqli with mysql 4.1.7?

Francis Mak wrote: > mysqli_query($c, "SET CHARACTER SET utf8;"); The naive user, who understands *NOTHING* about i18l (?) functions, character sets, or anything other than American English (and not all that up on the esoterics of grammar in that) asks: What happens in your application if you just do: mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET utf8", $connection) or die(mysql_error()); right after you connect to the database? In an ideal world, you've told MySQL to use utf8, and that would be that. Yeah, right. Worth a try, since it will take you 5 seconds, and *might* "just work" You may want to repeat your question on the PHP International list, if that's still going. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
