Mysql cannot search data. hurry up and ask for help online

Mysql cannot search data. in a hurry, the online distress website uses UTF-8 to store data. Read data and write data using:
Mysql_query ("set names 'utf-8 '")

When searching database tables, most of them cannot be searched as long as they are Chinese.

$ Add = $ SQL-> mdenin_select ("SELECT * FROM movie WHERE 'a0 'LIKE' % $ so % 'LIMIT 0, 1000 ");

Are you using phpmyadmin? Are Chinese characters garbled?

Comment out mysql_query ("set names 'utf-8 '")
Try again

In addition, the UTF-8 character set of mysql should be utf8
Therefore, you only access the data by using the default mysql character set latin1.

This is the data saved by UTF-8, but the data cannot be searched during the search. comment out mysql_query ("set names 'utf-8'") or cannot be searched.

Then how to convert the data into utf8

Read the content of the garbled field to the variable $ s
