$data = selectArray($sql);
insert arabic data is = `تظهر البيانات العربي
display in my database = تظهر البيانات العربيØ
display in cakePhp = تظهر البيانات العربية (display proper)
display in corePhp = تظهر البيانات العربيØ
Let me know any one have solution of this issue.
when create table use like this
CREATE DATABASE mydb DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

How to convert an entire MySQL database characterset and collation to UTF-8?
(20 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I have Arabic text stored in mysql like this format
شقق جديده غبر مسكونه 220 متر..
.150متر..طبربور ..ااسكانات قموم
والنجار للاستÙسار
it is in this format because I didn't use the below before inserting data into database from HTML textboxes:
mysql_query('SET CHARACTER SET utf8');
My question now, how to convert the text into MySQL columns to readable text like this:
شقق جديده غبر مسكونه 220 متر ..150متر..طبربور ..ااسكانات قموم والنجار للاستفسار
I tried the below for one column cell to check, but it didn't work:
mysql_query('SET CHARACTER SET utf8');
$sql = 'SELECT content FROM messages WHERE id=500';
$qry = mysql_query($sql);
$result =mysql_fetch_object($qry);
$text= $result->content;
mysql_query('SET CHARACTER SET utf8');
$sql ='UPDATE messages SET content= "'.$text.'" where id=500';
mysql_query($sql);
Note: if I use the below
mysql_query('SET CHARACTER SET utf8');
before I insert data into database from HTML textarea, then it works fine for store and read, but I need to convert the already entered data into tables.
Thanks.
The solution in brief can be done in 3 simple steps:
A. Change the Database collation to utf8 via the command below:
ALTER DATABASE <db_name> CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
already the table cells I want to change have collation of utf8_general_ci
B. Implement this query to change the content:
update messages set content=CONVERT(BINARY CONVERT(content USING latin1) USING utf8);
C. add the below before you connect to the DB:
mysql_query('SET CHARACTER SET utf8');
And you are done!!! Thanks for all
Use the ALTER DATABASE and ALTER TABLE commands.
ALTER DATABASE databasename CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
ALTER TABLE tablename CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;

I'm importing data from Oracle database to MySQL tables.
I have set my MySQL table charset as utf8_general_ci and database and table name with field column value set as utf-8 as well.
Now, When I fetch the result, it prints like, which is with ? sign:
مرحبا العال� - 5
I have my utf value in column is مرØبا العالÙ
When I compare this string with Oracle string, it shows proper value - exact copy of Oracle database and there it shows perfect string in Arabic.
I have set my html meta with utf-8 as well
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" >
If I set mysql query as below, it shows junk characters:
mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8;");
mysql_query("SET CHARACTER_SET utf8;");
Followed everything possible found over stack and other sites, and still getting an error.
Please help !
Did you save the php-file without BOM? If not, try it. Potential issues with the UTF-8 BOM
Further try with 'utf-8' using single quotes and without SET CHARACTER_SET
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
and with charset utf-8 in the html-document header:
header("content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8");
with pdo you should have this
$_dbhandler = new PDO(PDO_DSN, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD,array(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => "SET NAMES UTF8"));
I'm trying to insert an hebrew value into my mysql db, instead of hebrew the values looks like that.
שדגשדכעשד
The collation of the table is latin1_swedish_ci by default, I tried also to change to utf-8_general_ci, hebrew_bin, hebrew_general_ci but the result is still the same.
In my code I'm using of course the meta tag to configure the charset:
<meta charset="UTF-8">
And before my php query I added this line:
mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8");
I'm viewing the result in the phpmyadmin.
I have solved my Hebrew language problem. It was a database and table row/field encoding issue. Here is the solution I used. I took help from another answer and the link is given below, in case anyone needs it.
The database collation has to be utf8_general_ci.
The collation of the table with Hebrew has to be utf8_general_ci.
In the PHP connection script put
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
In the xhtml head tag put
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
If you are using MySQLi put this code in the connection script after selecting the database:
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
If you are using PDO, put
$conn->query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
The first answer helped me and I took it from there
Set charset to achieve the solution
While creating the database
CREATE DATABASE db_name
CHARACTER SET utf8
DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8
COLLATE utf8_general_ci
DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci
;
Or if the database is already created
CREATE TABLE table_name(
...
)
DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8
COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
OR while writing query
mysql_query("SET character_set_results = 'utf8', character_set_client = 'utf8', character_set_connection = 'utf8', character_set_database = 'utf8', character_set_server = 'utf8'", $conn);
$re = mysql_query('SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "%character_set%";')or die(mysql_error());
while ($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($re)) {var_dump ($r); echo "<br />";}
Check the collation_connection:
show variables like '%collation%'
you should make sure that:
you set utf-8 in php
you use utf-8 in the connection
your table is defined as utf-8_general_ci
the specific field is defined as utf-8_general_ci
Then you should be able to view Hebrew, or any other language, correctly in phpadmin
what finally helped me is to add the charset to the connection:
{"mysql:host=$host;dbname=$db;charset=utf8"}
I would say, in order to make sure that the values are passed well to the database I would add a die statment before inserting to the database and print the value, example:
die($_POST['thevalue']);
//insert to database.
//...
If it goes well, then the problem is on the database side, on the database I would try with this collation
| hebrew | ISO 8859-8 Hebrew | hebrew_general_ci | 1 |
as per http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset-mysql.html suggest.
But if it fail on the php side, reason can be, the server does not support Hebrew, make sure that on the html output document you use the correct metatag with
...
<meta charset="ISO 8859-8">
...
Let us knows how it proceed, good luck :)
For future use, if you have this issue and you are using PDO and not mysqli, you will need to do it like this:
The Database (all of it) collation has to be utf8_general_ci.
Set the collation of the table with Hebrew also to utf8_general_ci.
In the HTML "head" tag, add this: < meta charset="utf-8" >
In your PHP connection file, add after the connection Query this line: conn->exec("set names utf8");
if you are using classes, then you will probably have the "conn" as a variable.
in that case, you will have to use it like this:
$this->conn->exec("set names utf8");
Hope this helps to future people that have this problem and using PDO.
Best of luck.
I think I figure it out:
here's my code:
$conn = mysqli_connect($dbserver,$dbuser,$dbpwd,$dbname);
if (mysqli_connect_errno()){
printf("Connection failed: %s\n" , mysqli_connect_errno());
exit();
}
printf("Initial character set: %s\n", mysqli_character_set_name($conn));
/* change character set to utf8 */
if (!mysqli_set_charset($conn, "hebrew")) {
printf("Error loading character set hebrew: %s\n", mysqli_error($conn));
exit();
} else {
printf("Current character set: %s\n", mysqli_character_set_name($conn));
}
I need to insert korean text to my database which is coming by url get request. However, inserted values are not recognized in MySQL. Please, need quick instruction. Thanks.
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'ko_KR.utf8');
mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");
mb_http_output('utf-8');
$p_text = rawurldecode($_GET["text"]);
Right after your mysql connection make this query
$mysqli->query("SET NAMES 'UTF8'");
or
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'UTF8'");
also make sure that your fields have utf8_general_ci collation
