I am using MySQL phpmyadmin.
I have a inserted a multi-lingual text into DB the Collation is utf8_unicode_ci now i want to retrieve the values from DB and to store into a file. while i reading the text it returns ?????????? but the original text is தமிழ்.
i have written the text directly to the file and it is stored the text as தமிழ்தமிழ் (some square brackets), but while reading from DB since it is returning as ?????????? the file has been return as ??????????.
How can i read from DB correctly the text as it is.
Try sending the following query after connecting to the database:
If you're on mySQL < 5.0.7:
mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8;");
if you're on a newer mySQL:
mysql_set_charset("utf8");
AND
header('Content-type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8');
Try to execute 'SET NAMES utf8;' before the reading table.

I am inserting some data from a sjson file into mysql database. Some of the data is formatted using unicode.
When I echo the data on the browser is showing fine however, it is inserted in the database not formatted properly.
In the database I am using as Collation utf8_unicode_ci.
JSON data:
anch\u2019io, sar\u00e0
Showing in the Browser:
anch'io, sarà
Showing in the mysql database:
anch’io, sarÃ
How can I inserted in the database the text properly formatted?
PHP
$getUrl = "https://example.com/79809000.json";
$json_level = file_get_contents($getUrl);
$data_level = json_decode($json_level);
$text = $data_level->{"text"};
mysqli_query($conn, "INSERT INTO `70_level`(`text`) VALUES ('$text')");
I have tried to use addslashes, htmlentities but it does not work.
You are probably not using utf8 as your character set connection/collation connection.
The easiest way to fix this will be to use
$conn = mysqli_connect(...);
mysqli_query($conn, "SET NAMES 'utf8'");
The SET NAMES query should be the first query you run, so make sure you put it right after your mysqli_connect function.
Note that this change will affect all the data, so if you already have data in the database - you will need to re-insert it using the new (utf8) charset.
I am developing an Android app with Urdu/Arabic data store in MySQL database on my web server and using JSON_Encoding to generate the JSON string. The JSON string is then being used in Android app to perform various functions (populating RecyclerView and other view objects with data). I am able to store Urdu / Arabic data in MySQL database, but when I use PHP script to generate JSON, all the fields containing Urdu characters is displaying data as ??????
I was using the utf8mb4_unicode_ci as I read the this is easy for storing non-English data and performing multiple functions, but after this encoding problem, I have changed that to utf8_general_ci for all the tables and fields in MySQL database. Below is the PHP script I am using to generate the JSON string from MySQL:
<?php
require "conn.php";
mysqli_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
mysqli_query('SET CHARACTER SET utf8');
$sql_qry = "SELECT * FROM countrybasic;";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql_qry);
$response = array();
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
array_push($response, array("id"=>$row[0],"name"=>$row[1],"capital"=>$row[2],"continent"=>$row[3],"population"=>$row[4],"gdp"=>$row[5]));
}
echo json_encode(array("server_response"=>$response));
mysqli_close($conn);
?>
The Name and Capital fields are the ones I store my Urdu data in.
Please help me out to resolve this issue.
Thanks.
Create your table [countrybasic] with collation utf8mb4_unicode_ci and make the name column with the same colation.
Now insert some sample data in different languages.
Get the data using MySQLi query result.
Note: If you save the data when the collation is different and get that one after changing the collation then that data will not fetch correctly.
I hope this will work.
You just have to change the Charset to UTF8, and you can use these lines for PHP to do it:
$statSQL= 'SET CHARACTER SET utf8';
mysqli_query($your_db,$sSQL)
or die ('charset in DB didn\'t change');
I hope this help :)
$CONNECTION = mysqli_connect($host,$user,$password,$database);
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
mysqli_query ($CONNECTION ,"set character_set_results='utf8'");
$queryutf8 = "select * from yourtable";
$res_utf8 = mysqli_query($CONNECTION ,$queryutf8 );
You need to change the default utf8 in the wamp server
check the below link for more detail.
Arabic characters doesn't show in phpMyAdmin
I'm having a problem getting UTF-8 names written into a MySQL database... Here's what I have.
PHP page head has....
<meta charset="utf-8">
the MySQL column is: Char (80) with utf8_unicode_ci (these were originally latin1... I've changed them to UTF-8, truncated the database, then rerun the code)
The variable echoes to screen: Germán Mera
but writes it to database as Germán Mera
I tried putting utf8_encode(); around the variable, but then it writes to database as: Germán Mera and screen as Germán Mera (I know that command only works on iso-8859-1.. I think the JSON page is already UTF-8)
Here is an excerpt of the code I am using to get the name (for sake of simplicity, I'm only showing relevant code - I know what's shown below is not secure)
$str = file_get_contents('http://fantasy.mlssoccer.com/web/api/elements/647/');
$jsonarray = json_decode($str, true);
$name = $jsonarray['web_name'];
mysqli_query ($con, "INSERT INTO mlsprices (name) VALUES ('$name')");
Any idea how I can get this to write to the database properly? When I search, I only get quite complicated answers (eg, this) and there's surely an easier way.
Try using SET NAMES 'UTF8' after connecting to MySQL:
$con=mysqli_connect("host", "user", "pw", "db");
if (!$con)
{
die('Failed to connect to mySQL: ' .mysqli_connect_errno());
}
/* change character set to utf8 */
if (!$con->set_charset("utf8")) {
printf("Error loading character set utf8: %s\n", $con->error);
}
As the manual says:
SET NAMES indicates what character set the client will use to send SQL
statements to the server... It also specifies the character set that the server should
use for sending results back to the client.
I'm trying to store the following line in mysql:
$data = "After 30μs, what fraction of the charge will remain?"
If I display $data on HTML Page I get the exact text but if i store this in database then i get this data on output I get the following :
After 30Î?s, what fraction of the charge will remain?
I have set charset=utf-8 but even then i'm not able to access the proper data with all the symbols. Is there anything I'm missing ????
You need to set database connection encoding:
mysql_set_charset('utf8');
Or similar method, depending on your database library.
Whats your MySQL server's default charset and collation? Try executing the following query before any other queries inside your scripts.
SET NAMES utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
BTW, are we talking about a MySQL server?
Make sure your column's charset is utf-8, then use this method for inserting:
INSERT INTO my_table VALUES(
_utf8'After 30μs, what fraction of the charge will remain?', ...
);
and this for reading:
SELECT BINARY my_column FROM my_table;
I have a mysql database (Wamp) which uses latin1_swedish to encode characters (é, è, ...) but for an unknown reason when I display some results from the database (using an HTML page and a PHP page) the diacritics (à, é, è) are not displayed correctly.
I've already tried to change the charset of my webpage (iso 88599-1, utf-8) but it doesn't work.
echo htmlentities($variable_name);
Try to check the encoding on your files (you can do this with notapad++), in your database (you can see this in phpmyadmin), and your database connection (you can check this in your php file that connects to the db).
They should all match
If you know the character encoding that comes in and you know what goes out, you may be able to use iconv: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php
For example if the db is iso-8859 and you need utf-8, you call
iconv("ISO-8859-1", "UTF-8", $text);
You can't just change the character set of a table once values are stored, because the data will not be converted. You will have to convert the data using the available MySQL functions. Read more about that at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset-convert.html.
Did you set your connection to mysql db with the
SET NAMES utf8;
command?
There are several ways:
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
and
mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET utf8 ");
Or, the "best";
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'password');
mysql_set_charset('utf8',$link);
