Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP.

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41227&edit=1
