title: MYSQL accentuated characters é display as %E9
body: <p>I'm pushing data from as3 to MSQL through a little php script!</p>
  
  <p>My problem is that all my accentuated characters are displayed as weird iso characters.</p>
  
  <p>Example : é is displayed %E9</p>
  
  <p>Obvisously the collation of my field is set to <strong>utf8_general_ci</strong></p>
  
  <p>Even when I try to INSERT the data from a simple php script without as3, I get the same mistake.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  
  mysql_connect("***", "***", "***") or die("Error :" .mysql_error());
  mysql_select_db("***");
  
  
  $query ="INSERT INTO test (message) values ('éèàïû')";
  
  mysql_query($query) or die("Error updating DB");
  
  
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any idea on what am I doing wrong and how I could fix that?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
  
  <p>Jk_</p>
