Solution Jacques1 Posted September 11, 2016 Solution Share Posted September 11, 2016 mysqli::set_charset() Also make sure that your HTML documents are declared as UTF-8 (with a Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8 HTTP header and a <meta charset="UTF-8"> element).

prohor Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 @ Jacques1 << thank you very much. it solved my problem! <meta charset="utf-8"> was there but your "mysqli::set_charset()" link solved my problem. I added my code and looks like bellow <?php $connect = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "sumonn"); // this lines solved my problme, changing latin1 to utf8 after connction (start) if (!mysqli_set_charset($connect, "utf8")) { printf("Error loading character set utf8: %s\n", mysqli_error($connect)); exit(); } else { printf("Current character set: %s\n", mysqli_character_set_name($connect)); } // this was the last line of my changed code $sql=("SELECT * FROM `notice` ORDER BY id DESC limit 1" ); $result_set=mysqli_query($connect,$sql); while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result_set)) { echo $row['notice']; } if (!mysqli_set_charset($connect, "utf8")) { printf("Error loading character set utf8: %s\n", mysqli_error($connect)); exit(); } else { printf("Current character set: %s\n", mysqli_character_set_name($connect)); } ?> Hope it will help others like mine.
