Okay so with php i add text in a database. Looking through phpmyadmin, i can see how the letters (which are cyrillic) are displayed correctly, therefore i assume i am writing them in the database in the correct way without any problems.

However, when i then visualise them on the same page where i added the text, it comes as "???" (just question marks). I've tried changing the html meta tag. Currently it's "utf-8"" and i've tried with "windows-1251" as well but still with no success.

Everything in phpmyadmin is changed to utf-8 and ive tried all possible solutions that I've found so far.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

You can try to run this query before your query:

SET NAMES utf8;

  • This is purely a guess. The whole ecosystem has to be in UTF8 to work. Even if this did work, it's a band-aid. Something isn't getting UTF8 – Machavity Feb 23 '17 at 15:37
