使用阿拉伯语输入构建登录表单。 如何匹配记录

Question

I am building a form using PHP and I want the user to login with his Arabic name. I have set the database to UTF-8 and the column to UTF-8.

And I have enter the following code in my PHP script:

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

And when I output the result it is written in arabic, so no junk letters ...

Why it doesn't log me in when I use arabic username and when I use english username it logs me in?

A few things to check:

1. What is your database encoding? Maybe you input is utf-8, but it has been transformed into something else :)
   1. Check your framework (if you are using any) - maybe there is a build in mechanism to transform this
   2. Do you use mysqli to connect? I bet you do - try PDO instead
   3. There is a small discussion here about similar topic: log in with Arabic characters
