Hello, I probably posted this email to wrong list. But just for the sake
of other people running into this problem & googling for a solution I'll
post it anyway.
The fact that I got back an array had to do with MySQL's collation
settings, I had it set to 'utf8_bin' when I got the errors, changing it
to 'latin1_general_ci' fixed the problem.
