character issue with SQL

[builders]

Hi i am new to this forum and general to php too.

 

I would like to ask something about a form i created at php. I have the data of the form be saved at a database. The problem is with Greek chars when someone put in that then at sql ι have something like this "ΚώσÏ"

 

I tried this at the header of my index.php

 

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

and this <form accept-charset="utf-8" ... >

 

But nothing

 

What should i do in order the data to be saved in sql utf-8 ?

 

Thanks

You can set it with mysql_set_charset().

 

<?php
$con = mysql_connect('localhost','1234','1234');
mysql_set_charset('utf8', $con); 
?>
