$book- line 7kb. If this query is executed using PHP PDO exec, the column data monograph(LONGTEXT) is truncated with character 6765:
echo strlen($book); // output 7157
$db->exec("UPDATE `chemicals` SET `monograph` = {$db->quote($book)} WHERE `id` = {$db->quote($c['id'])};");
However, if I print a query and execute it using an SQL client (bypassing PHP), it inserts all the data into the database. This makes me think this is a PHP setting that I am not familiar with yet.
Please note that the same thing happens if I use prepared statements (including with PDO :: PARAM_LOB).
$bookthe value is reset to exec https://gist.github.com/79d5fe1050bbb0e2fac8 (7157). The actual data that falls into the database is https://gist.github.com/df49d4a9707660b8b60b (6765). I don’t understand how such truncation of data is technically possible, since the entire query is sent to MySQL (otherwise, an SQL syntax error would appear).
echo "UPDATE `chemicals` SET `monograph` = {$db->quote($book)} WHERE `id` = {$db->quote($c['id'])};";
If I execute the output (https://gist.github.com/a05fe4c033e74897b82b) using the SQL client, this is the data that gets into the database https://gist.github.com/88870fe26a3ae40e991e (7157, expected).
PDO is initiated using the UTF8 compound.
new PDO('mysql:dbname=[..];host=localhost;charset=utf8', 'root', '[..]', array(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => "SET NAMES 'utf8' COLLATE 'utf8_unicode_ci';"));

Now I know that the encoding problem.
$db->exec("UPDATE `chemicals` SET `monograph` = {$db->quote(utf8_decode($book))} WHERE `id` = {$db->quote($c['id'])};");
However, I'm not sure what to do about it. My MySQL connection is already unicode.
/etc/my.cnf .
[mysqld]
