How to fix encoding?

Question

PHP

I deduce record from a DB, such question marks are deduced here. Exactly question marks, not scribbles as with incorrect encoding. Tell me what to do?

Answer 1

Is everything okay with the base?
If not, it's most likely the script.

Answer 2

Try
pasting after

mysql_query('SET NAMES utf8');          
mysql_query('SET CHARACTER SET utf8');  
mysql_query('SET COLLATION_CONNECTION="utf8_general_ci"');

And check that you have utf8_general_ci encoded data in your database.

Answer 3

<?php 

$db = mysql_connect("localhost","arman","kiker555");
mysql_select_db("firstbd",$db);

mysql_query("SET character_set_results = 'utf8', character_set_client = 'utf8', character_set_connection = 'utf8', character_set_database = 'utf8', character_set_server = 'utf8'", $db);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM firma",$db);
$myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result);

echo $myrow["name"];

?>

Answer 4

1. forget you already about mysql_connect. only mysqli
2. what is the encoding in html? Please provide the page code in full.

Answer 5

Question marks are also an encoding problem, not always scribbles. Depends on what is the source and what is the final encoding. The final is most likely UTF, which means the original, most likely, cp-1251.

Answer 6

Maybe this?
echo iconv("windows-1251", "UTF-8", $db); //if it doesn't work, then here
//echo iconv("UTF-8", "windows-1251", $db);
