Hey guys I am having trouble trying to convert my web app to support unicode characters. I have the following script which tries to insert russian characters into my mysql database but just outputs ?????? in my mysql database field. I have changed default charset to UTF-8 in my php.ini and have modified my table fields to collation: utf8_unicode_ci. Anyone have any ideas?
mb_language('uni'); mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8');
$sql = 'SET NAMES utf8';
$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);
$result=$stmt->execute();
$sql = 'SET CHARACTER SET utf8';
$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);
$result=$stmt->execute();
$sql = 'INSERT INTO topic (topic_id,topic_title) VALUES (?,?)';
$stmt6 = $conn->prepare($sql);
$result=$stmt6->execute(array(0,"дравствуйте"));
?>
show create table edit
CREATE TABLE `topic` (
`id` mediumint(8) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`topic_title` varchar(255) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`description` mediumtext CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
FULLTEXT KEY `description` (`description`),
FULLTEXT KEY `topic_title` (`topic_title`),
FULLTEXT KEY `topic_title_2` (`topic_title`,`description`),
FULLTEXT KEY `description_2` (`description`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=39 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
