Bug description: utf8 data appears to become ascii after
mysql_query/mysql_fetch_row
Description:
------------
I have a fully UTF-8 MySQL database with a fully UTF-8 table. I have a php
page which has "<meta http-equiv="content-type"
content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8" />" at the top of the html
section and "mysql_set_charset("utf8");" after my connection. I have all
my php.ini mbstring stuff configured for utf-8:
mbstring.language = Neutral
mbstring.internal_encoding = UTF-8
mbstring.http_input = auto
mbstring.encoding_translation = On
mbstring.detect_order = auto
and for what it's worth, echo mb_internal_encoding(); reports "UTF-8" and
mysql_client_encoding(); reports "utf8".
Reproduce code:
---------------
$con = mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'password');
mysql_select_db("database", $con);
mysql_set_charset("utf8");
$query = "SELECT japanese_terms.term_lang, language_en FROM
japanese_terms, languages ";
$query .="WHERE japanese_terms.term_id = languages.language_id ORDER BY
term_id";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while( $row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
foreach($row as $field)
{ print($field . "<br />"); }
}
Expected result:
----------------
I expect the UTF-8 data to display properly, and as UTF-8 data. When I
run the same query that pulls out (in this case, Japanese, but say any)
UTF8 data, it displays properly in MySQL Query Browser.
Actual result:
--------------
With php in the above context however, it does not. Instead, it prints a
? corresponding to each character. When I use mb_detect_encoding(); on
each such string, it tells me they are encoded as "ASCII" instead of
expected "UTF-8".
