Re: [PHP] Insert Symbol into Mysql
If he´s really using a any other charset instead of utf8 table, why not using utf8_decode and utf8_decode in his php files to solve this?

RE: [PHP] Insert Symbol into Mysql
He has no utf-8 charset in the table, so the first point is valid and htmlentities is the function ( http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php ) You need to remember that in this way you need to use htmlentities for *everything*, specially for searches, otherwise ° against ° will be a "not found". Alternative could be mb_string for charset manipulation but since the table is not UTF-8 you could have lots of problems with other chars ... so you change the charset if this is a new project before you gonna be in trouble for size and/or performances, or you convert each stored stirng via htmlentities and you start right now to use htmlentities as default select/insert "parser" (or you convert everything into utf-8 via mb_string and you truncate the table, change the charset, refill it via converted values performed into another table) Regards > From: a...@ashleysheridan.co.uk > Two ways to do this: > > 1.

RE: [PHP] Insert Symbol into Mysql
does JavaScript use the proper way to encode strings as encodeURIComponent is, and for each sent key/value pair? Is MySQL table charset ut8_general_ci ? If not, do you convert sent UTF-8 charset into table charset? In few words we miss the way/library used to send data, the default PHP charset, the MySQL table charset, the way you store/retrieve data into MySQL, etc etc ... we can help but we need more info > From: esam...@barc.gov.in > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 17:00:31 +0530 > Subject: [PHP] Insert Symbol into Mysql > > I want to insert symbols like degree, plusminus, currency along with string > into Mysql database.
