unicode? queries ...

[asmith]

hey guys

 

i have an awful lot of queris in my email . like :

 

insert into ...

insert into ...

 

 

which is impossible to do one by one.

 

so i wrote :

 

<?php

$db = mysql_connect("localhost","...
mysql_select_db("db",$db);

$a = "insert into...
insert into...
insert into...";  // queries goes here

$b = explode("\n",$a);

foreach($b as $query)
{
 mysql_query($query,$db) or die(mysql_error());
}


echo "these queries were executed : <br />";
print_r($b);

?>

 

it works fine. except some of the queries has unicode characters, which makes problem wen saving the file. but when i save te file as a unicode format,  my brower only shows a white page and does nothing .

 

any idea?

Is the database using UTF-8? How are these characters encoded in your file?
