i am trying to store russian in db.
i get an error "Cannot Run Query" if one of the $_POST['input'] has russian.
("CRQ" is an $error if(!$result)😉
I read in the manual about CHARACTER SET and COLLATE
the field i am trying to insert russian into or should i say column i
ALTER TABLE tbl MODIFY col varchar(20)
CHARACTER SET koi8r COLLATE koi8r_general_ci
I am not sure what steps I should take in this case.
The db on actual server accepts russian it just converts it to #1245 for every char. I would like to be able to do that on my own machine.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
