Description:
------------
When i use mysql_real_escape_string() with mysql_set_charset() forcing
to use 'latin1' the accented characters dissapear from the insert
string.
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set%';
------------------------------------
character_set_client latin1
character_set_connection latin1
character_set_database latin1
character_set_filesystem binary
character_set_results latin1
character_set_server latin1
character_set_system utf8
PHP info
--------
PHP API 20041225
PHP Extension 20060613
Zend Extension 220060519
I realize that if i comment the mysql_set_charset() command i have no
problems. anyway, if i try to get the connection character (with or
without this command) i'll always get 'latin1', but i just think that
this commando shouldn't cause problems.. till today i have it trying to
stabilize my framework environment
Test script:
---------------
# From the very beginning i disable the magic quotes if it's set
ini_set('magic_quotes_gpc', 0);
# I create a connection like this
$link = mysql_connect(SQL_HOST, SQL_USER, SQL_PASS);
mysql_select_db(SQL_INSTANCE, $link);
# Use the "forced" character set for the connection
mysql_set_charset('latin1', $link);
# In my code i have a class that performs all validation according to
the type of content i'm specting... in this case string's validation
Class vaccine
{
public static function forString($value)
{
if($value == null || $value == 'null')
return 'NULL';
return strlen($value)
? '\''. mysql_real_escape_string($value) .'\''
: 'NULL';
}
}
# then if i'm going to insert in db
$query = "INSERT INTO TABLE VALUES(". Vaccine::forString('this text has
accents from here áéÃóú') .")"
