Question

I am posting UTF-8 (Hindi) data via $.POST. I am getting this: मनमोहन सिंह in my MySQL database.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

is added in pages.

$.post("submit_answer_submit.php",
{
    qid: qidx,  
    answer: answerx
},
function(data, status){

How do I add "Content-Type:"?

Answer 1

Problem solved as i added "$result=mysqli_query($connn,"SET NAMES 'utf8'");" before insert query in PHP
