How to insert an hebrew value into a mysql db in php

问题

I'm trying to insert an hebrew value into my mysql db, instead of hebrew the values looks like that.

×©×“×’×©×“×›×¢×©×“

The collation of the table is latin1_swedish_ci by default, I tried also to change to utf-8_general_ci, hebrew_bin, hebrew_general_ci but the result is still the same.

In my code I'm using of course the meta tag to configure the charset:

<meta charset="UTF-8">

And before my php query I added this line:

mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8");

I'm viewing the result in the phpmyadmin.

回答1:

Check the collation_connection:

show variables like '%collation%'

回答2:

I have solved my Hebrew language problem. It was a database and table row/field encoding issue. Here is the solution I used. I took help from another answer and the link is given below, in case anyone needs it.

The database collation has to be utf8_general_ci.
The collation of the table with Hebrew has to be utf8_general_ci.

In the PHP connection script put

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

In the xhtml head tag put

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

If you are using MySQLi put this code in the connection script after selecting the database:
```
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
```
If you are using PDO, put
```
$conn->query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
```

The first answer helped me and I took it from there

Set charset to achieve the solution

While creating the database

CREATE DATABASE db_name
 CHARACTER SET utf8
 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8
 COLLATE utf8_general_ci
 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci
 ;

Or if the database is already created

CREATE TABLE table_name(
 ...
 )
 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8   
 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

OR while writing query

mysql_query("SET character_set_results = 'utf8', character_set_client = 'utf8', character_set_connection = 'utf8', character_set_database = 'utf8', character_set_server = 'utf8'", $conn);


$re = mysql_query('SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "%character_set%";')or die(mysql_error());
while ($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($re)) {var_dump ($r); echo "<br />";}

you should make sure that:

you set utf-8 in php
you use utf-8 in the connection
your table is defined as utf-8_general_ci
the specific field is defined as utf-8_general_ci

Then you should be able to view Hebrew, or any other language, correctly in phpadmin

回答5:

I would say, in order to make sure that the values are passed well to the database I would add a die statment before inserting to the database and print the value, example:

die($_POST['thevalue']);
//insert to database.
//...

If it goes well, then the problem is on the database side, on the database I would try with this collation

as per http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset-mysql.html suggest.

But if it fail on the php side, reason can be, the server does not support Hebrew, make sure that on the html output document you use the correct metatag with

...
<meta charset="ISO 8859-8">
...

Let us knows how it proceed, good luck :)

回答6:

I agree with the set it as utf-8 option, however if for some reason you can't then you could always convert to base64. Not the best (by a long way) but could help someone out of a hole.

回答7:

For future use, if you have this issue and you are using PDO and not mysqli, you will need to do it like this:

The Database (all of it) collation has to be utf8_general_ci.
Set the collation of the table with Hebrew also to utf8_general_ci.
In the HTML "head" tag, add this: < meta charset="utf-8" >
In your PHP connection file, add after the connection Query this line: conn->exec("set names utf8");
if you are using classes, then you will probably have the "conn" as a variable. in that case, you will have to use it like this: $this->conn->exec("set names utf8");

Hope this helps to future people that have this problem and using PDO. Best of luck.

回答8:

what finally helped me is to add the charset to the connection:

{"mysql:host=$host;dbname=$db;charset=utf8"}
