UTF8 Data problem in Vbulletin

[mkmajeed]

Hello,

I have tried to convert my Unicode forum, from phpBB3 to Vbulletin. Problem I am facing is that all my converted data is in UTF8 encoding, which is not being handeled by vbulletin properly. when I change some of data in ANSI encoding it stasrts displaying Urdu Characters.

Only thing i want to ask is is there any way i can execute one statment before the execution of any query in vbulletin. query string I want to execute is given below

PHP Code:

mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'"); 


--------------- Added [DATE]1225578185[/DATE] at [TIME]1225578185[/TIME] ---------------

Is it possible ?
