Insert information to MySQL using PHP in a foreign language

[mohammedsk]

Hi,
I am trying to save information into MySQL using PHP. The data I am saving is in Arabic language.
The database table will show some "???" or other characters.
If I insert the text directly through PHPMyAdmin it works, but not through PHP.
I also, modified the PHP page to accept UTF-8 encoding.


What other changes do I have to do?

Thanks in advance,

Never mind, I figured it out.
I had to use mysql_query("SE T NAMES 'utf8'");
