Question

I am fetching data from mysql server but the data contains some special character which when i try to print through my php code show a question mark instead. I know this has something to do with character encoding, and i have set charset to utf-8 in my html code but still I am not getting the special characters.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Add mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8") to the start of the php code after the db connection.
