I want to insert Unicode string into mySQL. Can PHP support Unicode? Because right now mySQL doesn't support Unicode so I have to use BLOB type instead of VARCHAR type.

Can anybody help me? Please give me an example.
Thanks,

PHP has an extended module for dealing with Unicode and many other multibyte string formats. See
You have to compile PHP with --enable-mbstring , or if you want automatic conversion upon output, then --enable-mbstr-enc-trans as your ./configure options. -------------------------------------------
