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
//===========================================================
<?php
include("db.php");
$result = mysql_query("select * from mem_applications");
if ($result)
{
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['first_name'];
echo "<br>";
echo $row['mid_name'];
echo "<br>";
echo $row['last_name'];
echo "<br>";
}
}
?>
//===========================================================
Thanks in advance
