Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Make sure that your client character set is also set to UTF8! (SET NAMES UTF8) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-19 13:00:45] stian at grytoyr dot net Oh, and an example of the output I'm seeing with the code in the "reproduce" section can be viewed here: http://klara.grytoyr.net/tmp/bug.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-19 11:36:42] stian at grytoyr dot net Description: ------------ I'm using PHP 5.0.2, MySQL 4.1.6gamma and Apache 2.0.49-27.16 on SuSE Linux Professional 9.1. PHP has been compiled by me, MySQL is a binary distribution from MySQL, Apache is the SuSE default. When I submit a query containing a UTF-8 representation (hex value 0xC48D) of the Unicode character č (lowercase c with caron) to the MySQL server using mysql_query, sniffing the network traffic reveals that the character is sent as 0xC43F, which is not a valid UTF-8 character. It's important to note that this happens BEFORE the data reaches the MySQL server, so I believe it must be a PHP problem. Some other Unicode characters are also problematic, including Đ and Á, but they are both sent as 0xC33F. The MySQL table has been created with CHARACTER SET utf8. I don't think this bug is possible to reproduce without running mysql_query, so the code below requires a connection to a MySQL database. This _may_ be a duplicate of Bug #28231, but I'm not entirely sure. Reproduce code: --------------- header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8"); // connect to a mysql database which supports UTF-8 here $testStr = chr(196) . chr(141); // Unicode character č (c caron) echo '$testStr before query: ' . $testStr . '<br />'; // will output the correct UTF-8 character (c caron) echo 'hex of $testStr before query: ' . bin2hex($testStr) . '<br />'; // will output c48d $updateResult = mysql_query("update klara_test set klara_text = '$testStr' where klara_id = 1", $conn); $fetchResult = mysql_query("select klara_text from klara_test", $conn); while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($fetchResult)) { echo '$testStr from database: ' . $myrow['klara_text'] . '<br />'; // will output gibberish echo 'hex of $testStr from database: ' . bin2hex($myrow['klara_text']) . '<br />'; // will output c43f } Expected result: ---------------- I would expect the UTF-8 characters to remain unchanged. Actual result: -------------- Certain Unicode characters are altered by mysql_query, as far as I can tell. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30477&edit=1
