Hello,

does anyone have experience with using utf8 on a machine running windows 2000, mysql 4.1. (actually 4.1.3b), perl 5.8.4 and apache 2?

I've set the default character set on MySQL to utf8. Utf8 data is in principle handled correctly, e.g. by php scripts (php 4.3.8). It also shows up properly in phpMyAdmin.

Still, the server error logs show these entries:

[Thu Jul 22 20:33:11 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] \x07Character set '#33' is not a compiled character set and is not specified in the 'C:\\mysql\\\\share\\charsets\\Index' file

With perl cgi scripts, however, I not only get these error messages, but also garbled output.

Any words of wisdom?

thanks,
kellner
