Hello
I have a problem on retrieving some fields from the Database. The data in the fields are written with Greek fonts.
In the mysql the data are viewed correctly the problem is when I am trying to print them out.
In properties of the mysql fields I have CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci
I also have tried to use instead of ‘utf8’ ‘greek’ in this line —- mysql_query(“SET NAMES ‘utf8′”, $connection);
Please help
Thank you
