i did everything to enforce my application to use the UTF-8 charset i used <cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8"> and <cfprocessingDirective pageencoding="utf-8"> and <cfset setEncoding("form","utf-8")> i have aslo added the following string to my DSN name in Coldfusion administrtor: useUnicode=ture&characterEncoding=UTF-8 My query is as follows: <cfquery datasource="ams_test"> INSERT INTO tbl_questions (Q_ID, Q_Mark, Q_Text) VALUES ('#Q_ID#', '#FORM.select#', '#FORM.txt_text#') </cfquery> it's wokring fine with english data, but when i use my name in arabic it gives me the following error: Syntax error or access violation: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '1 'D/1H(J')' at line 2 although it is generating a correct sql statement: SQL INSERT INTO tbl_questions (Q_ID, Q_Mark, Q_Text) VALUES ('C0260AA0-A481-DF60-26BA5C0DEFEDF160', '1', 'åæÇÑ ÇäÏÑèÈê') DATASOURCE ams_test VENDORERRORCODE 1064 SQLSTATE 42000 as you can see my name (åæÇÑ ÇäÏÑèÈê) has been magically converted to '1 'D/1H(J')' any suggestions? -- manar droubi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:238466 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
