php page not displaying arabic text
Solution 1
You can use this meta code:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
And please check mysql column's character type..
Look to this
Solution 2
check the file encoding, it should be UTF-8, and you can try to run the following query before querying the text:
mysql_query("SET NAMES UTF8");
Solution 3
Addtional to the headers set in the meta section, check your default_charset setting in the php.ini. default_charset should be empty if you set content type header by your own or correspond with your content-type meta information.
Solution 4
You set a META-tag that tells the browser to use ISO-8859-1 (<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
), which is for latin-based scripts, but surely not Arabic.
Also make sure you have UTF-8 at all places:
- the DB-column
- the DB-connection (you already have it)
- the website (via HTTP-header OR META-tag, you don't need both, and you don't need a second META-tag, as stated above…)

I have a PHP page where I am trying to display Arabic text but its showing.
In MySQL database I'm storing arabic text successfully.
I'm using the following code to connect to the database :
function connect(){ $this->dbLink = mysql_connect($this->dbHost,$this->dbUser,$this->dbPass); if(!$this->dbLink) die("Could not connect to database. " . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db($this->dbName); mysql_set_charset("utf8", $this->dbLink); }
And using the following header in the PHP page :
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
But still no success.
Thanks for helping.
