Greek characters in php

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi,

I'm making a script and I m using for first time greek characters.
I started to write a simple drop down menu that loads some city names from the
database. The names are in Greek in the database and the database is set in utf8_general_ci,
but in the drop down was appearing only some "?????????" question marks.

I also add this in the code in the head part
<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset utf-8'/>

and finally I added this in the file I make the connection with the database
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'", $conn);

after the final addition the characters changed from question marks and now the drop down
appears like this


I think I m close to solve it, but probably I m missing something.
If anyone knows something I would appreciate it.

Thank
