[SOLVED] PHP not displaying utf-8 characters from mysql

goossen · 02-08-2011, 07:17 AM

Here is the situation:

I have a mysql database using utf8_unicode_ci collation and a PHP page with UTF-8 encoding.
The problem is that the info comming from the database is not correctly displayed (it shows "?" for some spanish characters). But the ones (same character) I write directly in the PHP file are showing OK.

Solved by adding

Code:

mysql_set_charset('utf8',$link);

as the first query after connect.
