@themoonauthorAug 05.2018 — #Hi, I am using PHP 5.4.3 with mssql server DB. I have an issue in displaying correct Arabic text from the database tables. whenever, i fetch arabic text from the database, it is showing as ??????? However, if i echo an arabic text in my script, it is showing correctly as it is. My column data type is nvarchar (100). Below is my code. <?php $sql = "SELECT * ,convert(nvarchar(100),Grade_Ar) as converted FROM mdm_grade "; $query = sqlsrv_query($conn,$sql) or die("Error in SQL: $sql"); while ($row = sqlsrv_fetch_array($query)) { $Grade_Ar = $row['Grade_Ar']; echo "$Grade_Ar<br/>"; } ?>
