unicode not entering mysql database

[crugh]

I have a free response student testing system that will not insert the unicode (Korean characters) into a mysql database. I am using php with the get object.

I had designed this program in flash originally but now I am converting it to mmf2 to port in different platforms. In my php code I used the header <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> but this will not work with the get object using $_POST for the data.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

the encoding can be set within the mysql database itself for each varchar or text field. It usually defaults to latin1_swedish_ci, but you can change it to UTF-8. Explore the options in your database manager.

I have the database in UTF-8 and the server is hosted in Korea. The Korean text will enter through the cpanel and show correctly in the database but when entered using the get object through a php file it will not show properly. I have also tried url encoding the string with no success.

You're using the Unicode version of MMF2, right? It probably won't work without it. It also might be an issue with the GET object (it might not be Unicode-compatible).

I am using the unicode version of MMF2. Do you think the moosock extension would work?

It might, but you should use GET, since, if you encounter any bugs, they will never, ever get fixed, since the Moo objects are abandoned by their developer (and the developer who made them doesn't seem to be around anymore).

Same problem here.
I try to transmit unicode from MMF2.5 with the Get object. Mysql database and php is set to UTF-8. The post data of the get object that is received in the php is not UTF-8 and can't be converted to it with php.

Has anyone already a solution?
