php - French accented characters decode for SQL matching -


i'm having problem matching against french accented characters (note other different characters such chinese, japanese used).

i've ran across error when input french street name check database , had error:

incorrect string value: '\xe2teau' column 'street_name' @ row 1 

for character in name:

le château 

i've changed column utf8_general_ci , still throws me error. how can "decode" them match against column?

are sending utf-8 data, or sending latin-1 encoded data? mysql may choking on âte because â being transmitted byte e2 , expects byte suitable value come next, sees 74 t instead. string not valid utf-8.

try using utf8_encode() on string value before creating query?
