Next, verify that the tables where the data is stored have the utf8mb4 character set: SELECT Then, check your database connection, you should do this after connecting: SET NAMES 'utf8mb4' First, verify, that the data source (a file. If you encounter this error either the data you are sending is not UTF-8 encoded, or your connection is not UTF-8. You would not fix your problem but try to "hide" it and not being able to perform essential database operations with the crapped data. I would not suggest Richies answer, because you are screwing up the data inside the database. I'll keep this here instead of just editing the answer, to make clear there is still a difference when saying "UTF8" That means, you'd need to specifically put "utf8mb4", if you mean it (and you should use utf8mb4) In the meantime, utf8mb4 was added, but to my knowledge MySQLs "UTF8" was not switched to mean utf8mb4. The time the question was asked, "UTF8" in MySQL meant utf8mb3. One thing I considered was switching to a utf8 varchar() with the binary flag turned on, but I'm rather unfamiliar with MySQL, and have no idea if such a fix makes sense.
SCRIPTCASE EMAIL FIELD TYPE FULL
What is causing that error? (yes, I know the emails are full of random garbage, but I thought utf8 would be pretty permissive).
SCRIPTCASE EMAIL FIELD TYPE CODE
Keeping in mind that I don't want to touch or even look at the application source code unless absolutely necessary: There are no flags that I can toggle in this column. The contents column is a MEDIUMTEXT datatybe which uses the utf8 column charset and the utf8_general_ci column collate. This fixed most of the errors, and made the application stop getting sql errors when it hit non-latin emails, too.ĭespite this, some of the emails are still causing the program to hit incorrect string value errrors: (Incorrect string value: '\圎4\xC5\xCC\xC9\xD3\xD8.' for column 'contents' at row 1) them doubleclick on the field product to check it to reload.After noticing an application tended to discard random emails due to incorrect string value errors, I went though and switched many text columns to use the utf8 column charset and the default column collate ( utf8_general_ci) so that it would accept them. Select product from products where CategoryId = " -> is the field that will show the select field(combobox) with the result of the SQL: select Id, Categories from categories.Īfter this, click on the field categories, go to the section Ajax Processing and check the option "Use AJAX to reload other fields of type Select, Double select, Radio and Checkbox. In the field product, change the data type to select(combobox), go to section Edition Lookup and change the lookup method to Automatic with this SQL:
This SQL statement will show the name of the categorie and will sabe the id. Click in the field categories and change the data type to select(combobox), go to section Edition Lookup and change the lookup method to Automatic with this SQL: In an form, we will use Ajax to perform that task, first we need to enable Ajax in the application, the menu Configuration->Ajax Use = yes. One field will list categories of the products and the others the product it self. In this topic we will use our Ajax, with two fields type select,(combobox).
