When I try and execute this code to print out an Arabic string: print(\"إضافة\"); I get this output: إضاÙØ©. If I utf8_decode() it I\'ll get <

Answer 1

Well,

First: Add by the beginning of HTML page

second: if you are using AJAX encode data using encodeURIComponent

Third: First line of your PHP page should be

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); 

and decode the data sent to PHP using urldecode
