使用希腊字符将数据从 mssql 插入 mysql 数据库

Question

i have a problem with some databases

i am trying to update data (greek language) from a ms-sql database with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1253_CI_AI encoding to a mysql database with utf8 encoding and it comes like this: ÕäáôéêÞ

i tried mb_convert_encoding and some other solutions but nothing worked.

any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

well after some more research i did found a part solution, i used this code:

$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"database", "CharacterSet"=>"UTF-8", "UID"=>"uid", "PWD"=>"pwd");

and now it appears ok on website.

But the problem still remains when i store the variable on the mysql server

$sql_update_remarks = "UPDATE CK1f14_posts set post_content = '$so_re' WHERE ID = '$post_id'";
