"The use of placeholders is absolutely vital when using SQL..."

Nothing but the truth. But perhaps this is yet another communication problem.

I'm just wondering about what will happen when i try to force mysql_enable_utf8 => 1 in my DBI call when default-character-set=utf8 and default-collation=utf8_unicode_ci is not set in my.cnf...

For the moment i don't have any mySQL at the hand to check this.

Best regards, Karl

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Do you know where your variables are?
