Thank you, by adding mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET utf8", $connection), it
works now. However, I am still confused on some issue:
1. Is it possible to set the PHP mysql client to use utf8 as default? In
this way, I do not need to modify all of my applications.
2. Why mysqli + 4.1.x is recommended?
