Hello wise monks

I'm running into a problem, and I can't seem to find any solution to it for the past 2 days. Here's what it's all about:

o I got an UTF-8 encoded XML file
o I parse it in and want to write some parts of it to a mysql database, ISO-8859-1 encoded

Everything is working fine, i'm reading the XML in, creating a hash out if it with XML::Parser, data gets written to MySQL aswell, but when I check the data in the table, it's UTF-8 again.

So I started playing with Text::Iconv, and came to this:

--- some stuff above --- $parser->parsefile(shift @ARGV, ProtocolEncoding => "ISO-8859-1"); --- some stuff inbetween --- my $converter = Text::Iconv->new("UTF-8","ISO-8859-1"); while (my($key,$value)=each(%attrs)) { push (@value_stack, { $key=>$value }); if ($program_hash{$current_filmid}{$key} eq '') { $program_hash{$current_filmid}{$key} = $conver +ter->convert($value); } else { if ($key ne "EventId" && $key ne "KanalId") { $program_hash{$current_filmid}{"$key.$ +value"} = $converter->convert($value); } } } --- some stuff below ----


When I print the values out (eg: print $converter->convert($value)."\n"; ) it looks correct (eg ISO-8859-1 encoded), but when writing to the DB, it's UTF-8 again (meaning all special chars, like öäüéàè etc are some weird chars like Ã| etc...).

I'm really going nuts here, and would appreciate any help provided for this.

If more of the source is needed just tell me.

Thanks in Advance
Emanuel

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
