Multiple lanaguages in the database & viewing in php..

[lynxus]

Im having a terrible issue saving the persian language into my DB and bringing it back into a PHP echo.

 

All i get is: ���� Rather than the actual text that it should show.

 

I have a form that submits the text to a UTF8-Unicode DB table.

A then have a php doc that reads that table and echos to the document.

However it just comes out as ����

 

The document is set to UTF-8 and PHP sends the UTF-8 header.

 

Does anyone know what im doing wrong?

 

This only seems to happen when using IE

 

Meant to look like : ل لينوكس دلخواه قابل نصب بوده

But instead just shows ??????????????

 

Thanks

Everything is set to utf 8 on ALL my documents.

<?php header("Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8");?>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

 

Database is utf-8unicode ci

 

FF and Gchrome WORK FINE!

 

Its just IE that wont send the data properly. Always get ?????????

I noticed it ALSO cant send the damn £ character.

 

What is wrong, all other browsers are fine, Typical IE buggering everything up.

Typical,

After HOURS!!!!

of looking, Ive found the issue.

 

In IE when using utf-8 and ajax you need:

 

message = encodeURIComponent(message);

 

This appears to fix it completely.
