PHP & MySQL & character sets

[weber82]

Hi.

Who has practic with this problem.

I want to get Armenian Data from MySQL and show in PHP page.

MySQL has character set utf8 and many collations for languages (roman,persian,spanish) also utf8_bin and utf8_unicode_ci

There is also armscii8 character set for Armenian with this collations armscii8_bin and armscii8_general_ci.

In MySQL I can select, edit, delete, compare, one with other armenian data in this character sets. Very good

But PHP shows ???? in place armenian words.

I have tested one code with others million times but no result before now.
I am going to -> -> ->

set charset for your page to match your language
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=YOUR_CHARSET" />

[_nabil_]

I had the same problem,

i added this (before any output):

PHP Code:

header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8"); 


and of course the meta tag mangome suggested

Hi.

Thanks for suggestions. I had added meta tag to my page but it didn't help.
I will try yours too.
