From: php_debugger at yahoo dot com
Operating system: Windows XP
PHP version: 5.2.1
PHP Bug Type: MySQL related
Bug description: mysql_real_escape_string
Description:
------------
I have met this "bug" while I was creating a Russian site. I have a web
form(ENCODING:UTF-8) and a simple query(My db uses UTF-8). When I submit
the form, I get an error which says that the string is too long for the
column but it is not the case(I just type the letters).
After a while debugging I have found out what is the problem. When I use
mysql_real_escape_string() I get the error else I do not.
I have searched in the php site but I found nothing which has to do with
encoding.
Reproduce code:
---------------
//I will give only the php code though it is very simple
<?php
//MySQL connections and other stuff like this has been omitted because
//of the code's size
$name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']);
mysql_query("insert into users set name='".$name."');
?>
Expected result:
----------------
No errors.
Actual result:
--------------
MySQL error which says that the string is too long.
