MySQL matching unicode characters with ascii version

Question

I\'m running MySQL 5.1.50 and have a table that looks like this:

organizations | CREATE TABLE `organizations` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `na         


        

Answer 1

one thing you can do with your query string is to decode it...

< ?php
$query="उनकी"; // some Unicode characters
$query=urldecode($query);
$qry= "SELECT * FROM table WHERE books LIKE '%$query%'";

//rest of the code....
?>

it worked for me. :)
