Hello Mike, I'll answer to the second question, since I worked with Paul on Perl/MySQL and UTF-8... On Mon, 20 Mar 2006 09:59:32 -0500 "Mike Rylander" <mrylander@gmail.com> wrote:
Are you using decode_utf8($mysql_string) to let Perl know that the database is UTF8 encoded? IIRC, MySQL doesn't know how to tell Perl about that, and the DBD::MySQL maintainer haven't added that functionality to the module yet.
We don't use decode_utf8. Just after the database handler creation, we force communication to be UTF-8 with "set names 'UTF8'" SQL query. As we know our data are UTF-8 stored and we want UTF-8, all works fine. Bye -- Pierrick LE GALL INEO media system
