I am trying to save text and then display text from MySQL Database in Joomla.
I created a PHP file to save text via post.
$text = $_POST['text'];
$text = mysql_real_escape_string($text);
mysql_query("INSERT INTO question(`question`) VALUE('$text')");
The text i copied from word had a special character.
The line copied was:
Total age = 20 × 9 = 180 years
In the database table (charset=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci), the text is saved as
Total age = 20 × 9 = 180 years
Now if i fetch this text in a PHP and in that PHP i add this line:
<meta charset="UTF-8">
Then the text is displayed correctly.
If i fetch the same text in a Joomla Website, which already has utf-8 meta (checked in source code), the text is not displayed correctly. It always shows:
Total age = 20 × 9 = 180 years
I have tried adding these:
mysql_set_charset('utf8');
ini_set('default_charset', 'UTF-8');
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
utf8_encode($text);
But i could not decode the characters inside Joomla. Please help.
Try the following:
You can make these changes in phpMyAdmin (I think there is a query to change the character encoding for all the tables)
