regex - filtering out chinese utf8 characters

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi there,

I am trying to filter out content that is not ascii. Can I do this with regex? For example:

	$regex = '[AZ][09]';
	if (preg_match($regex, $text)) {
		return TRUE;
	}
	else {
		return FALSE;
	}

The reason I need to do this is that I am doing a mysql query with the text and I need to make sure it is not UTF8. Otherwise I do get following error:

Error: Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '='

I am new to regex and would be happy for a jump start to get this fixed.

Best regards, Merlin
