Re: [PHP-DB] Arabic characters displayed as garbage !!

2004-10-04 Thread M Saleh EG
The whole thing doesnt have to do anything with the DB. Because what
matters is the client or the gateway character-set ( browser in your
case ) so if ur on windows u're probably posting data through
charset=windows-1256 so if ur using HTML then use this encoding or if
ur using XHTML u could put the charset in the xmlns or html tag.

or as mentioned earlier by sending headers.

Hope that helps.

Hi,
I might be able to help. I've done a website that uses Chinese characters. 
I have to store the data in a BLOP mysql field. Then use the correct ISO 
for the webpage display.

Try that.

By default, MySQL uses the ISO-8859-1 (Latin1) character set. I guess you
need to set this parameter to something suitable for Arabic (if it is
supported by MySQL). I suggest you read "The Character Set Used for Data

[PHP-DB] Arabic characters displayed as garbage !!

2004-10-03 Thread Dre
Hi,

I'm working on a website that needs to save and display Arabic characters.
I'm using MySQL database and no matter how I insert the data either using
phpMyAdmin or inserting it using a script of my own, when I try to show
(display) the data I previously saved (which contains Arabic characters),
the output is rubbish and has no relation with the words I saved

the script I'm using for displaying the data is as simple as the following
one

//===
";
  echo $row['mid_name'];
  echo "";
  echo $row['last_name'];
  echo "";
   }
 }
?>
//===

Thanks in advance
