如何在使用SQL Server时显示cakephp中的unicode

Question

I use the cakephp with SQL server 2012. In my database I have declare nvarchar instead of varchar to show the unicode. But when I use

$this->set('types',$this->Manager->query('select * from product_types'))

the result is :

    Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 2
                    [name] => Th?c u?ng c� c?n
                )

        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 3
                    [name] => B�nh k?o
                )

        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 4
                    [name] => X� b�ng
                )

        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 5
                    [name] => H�ng h�a d�ng h?p
                )

        )

)

It doesn't show unicode characters.

You should change your database setting in app/Config/database.php:

public $default = array(
    'datasource' => 'Database/Mysql',
    'persistent' => false,
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'login' => 'user',
    'password' => 'password',
    'database' => 'database_name',
    'prefix' => '',
    //'encoding' => 'utf8',
);

to:

public $default = array(
    'datasource' => 'Database/Mysql',
    'persistent' => false,
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'login' => 'user',
    'password' => 'password',
    'database' => 'database_name',
    'prefix' => '',
    'encoding' => 'utf8', //uncomment this line
);
