I have been trying to track down an issue with certain Greek characters
getting jumbled in my web app, and I am stumped. I have the issue isolated
to the characters getting messed up between the MySQL database and PDO. If
I select from the database via the MySQL command line it comes out right. If
I use PHP/PDO it gets jumbled. Any ideas? Here is an example of the issue,
using the Ω character:

% php utf8.php
This is a test Î© of the emergency broadcast system

% utf8.sh
entry
This is a test Ω of the emergency broadcast system

-----------------------------------------------------------
% cat utf8.php
<?php
// connect
$db=new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb", "root", "password");

// force UTF8
$db->query('SET NAMES utf8');

// select single row
$result=$db->query("select entry from employee where id=3640");
$row=$result->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

// print row
print $row['entry'] . "\n";
?>
-----------------------------------------------------------
% cat utf8.sh
echo "select entry from employee where id=3640" | \
mysql -h localhost -u root --pass='password' testdb

Thanks!
