UTF-8 PHP SQL SERVER

Question

I am working using wordpress, php and sql server. On my web page I have a sqlserver query that is not being displayed correctly.

problem

I am not sure of what should I insert on my php or html code to fix this, I have been trying different things but nothing is fixing my problem. I guess it's all about ut8 encoding but I don't know what to do anymore.

This is how I do the query.

$dbh = new PDO ("dblib:host=$hostname:$port;dbname=$dbname","$username","$pw");
$stmt=$dbh->prepare("SELECT TOP 10 till.code......
$stmt->execute();

Answer 1

尝试这个：

new PDO ("dblib:host=$hostname;dbname=$dbname;charset=utf8","$username","$pw");

Answer 2

Probably it's a problem in HTML generated by Wordpress.

Can you check the meta tags in your HTML?

For HTML4:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1">

For HTML5:

<meta charset="UTF-8">

You can find further information on charsets here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_charset.asp

Furthermore it is available in PHP a function able to convert in HTML encoded strings some special characters; you could try to pass columns with problems through the htmlentities function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php
