MySQL list,
I have a database on a server that contains English and Japanese text. I
have tried to ensure at every turn that all text encoding is in utf8.
On the web hosting server where the live site resides, everything is
working fine.
But on my testing environment at home, the Japanese text displays as
question marks.
Japanese text that is written directly into the PHP/HTML displays
correctly. Only Japanese text retrieved from the database displays
incorrectly.
All the Japanese text was initially entered on the hosting server. To
get the database duplicated onto my testing environment, I exported the
database, and then imported it again. I also checked the .sql file that
was generated to ensure that the utf8 encoded Japanese was still
readable as Japanese before importing it.
Further, when I look at the database in phpMyAdmin, it displays the
Japanese correctly.
I had a similar problem a few months back, and at the time, it was
advised that I add the following lines to /etc/mysql/my.cnf:
init-connect='SET NAMES utf8'
character-set-server=utf8
collation-server=utf8_general_ci
I've done this, and so these are my collation variables:
Variable Session value Global value
character set client utf8 utf8
character set connection utf8 utf8
character set database utf8 utf8
character set results utf8 utf8
character set server utf8 utf8
character set system utf8 utf8
character sets dir /usr/share/mysql/charsets/
/usr/share/mysql/charsets/
collation connection utf8_general_ci utf8_general_ci
collation database utf8_general_ci utf8_general_ci
collation server utf8_general_ci utf8_general_ci
This solved the problem last time.
But this time the same solution does not seem to be working.
I hope I have described the problem in enough detail. If not, please let
me know.
Is there any other character set related setting that I may need to do
on my local MySQL server to correctly display Japanese?
My home set up:
Ubuntu Dapper Drake 6.06
MySQL MySQL 4.1.15
phpMyAdmin 2.7
PHP 4.4.2
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
