Software :: PHP Not Displaying Utf-8 Characters From Mysql
Feb 8, 2011
I have a mysql database using utf8_unicode_ci collation and a PHP page with UTF-8 encoding. The problem is that the info comming from the database is not correctly displayed (it shows "?" for some spanish characters). But the ones (same character) I write directly in the PHP file are showing OK.
I have a problem when opening documents in OpenOffice write, it doesn't display the characters for certain menu options - just a series of squares instead. It does this in other OpenOffice applications as well.
I wrote a java program that writes strings to a file. The strings contain foreign language characters. When I run the program in Windows, the output file shows the foreign characters. However, when I attempt the same operation in Linux, the output file shows a white question mark in a black background instead of the foreign characters. The same Linux system could display the foreign characters if I copy the output file from Windows to Linux. I tried to create the output file using gedit that my program would then add additional strings to and chose Unicode-32 for encoding but still the same problem.
What could I do to get the program to display the foreign language characters from output text file?
I'm using openSUSE 11.2 with GNOME dual-booted with Windows 7, been installed from scratch for like a week. The bottom line is: Nautilus displays a series of matrices, "x"s and other symbols instead of characters in Hebrew.
Screenshot:
Now, it worked fine at the beginning but once I started installing updates it went. I installed a whole bunch of updates and programs so I don't know what changed it. The weird part is (as you can see in the screenshot) that the shortcut to the left of a Hebrew-named folder shows up correctly only the first time Nautilus opens after starting. So as soon as I closed the Nautilus window after taking the screenshot and reopened it, it also displayed like the others. The screenshot is of my ntfs Windows drive, however the problem occurs in my home folder as well.
I've been seeing things like this in Firefox since installing:
Franais Espaol
where the is a special/accented character. I've also been seeing the in places that seem likely to have some kind of quote mark, probably curved quotes. I can see straight single and double quotes. To correct this, I've tried changing the display font and the character encoding. I've also looked at the Mozilla Add-On site to see if I could find a plug-in to fix it, to no avail.
What should I try now? Currently I'm using Liberation Sans with UTF-8. I'm a native English speaker so I need a western encoding (I think), but I'd still like other characters to display properly.
In CentOS 5.4 (Final), emacs is displaying characters as little boxes. see attached screen shot. I searched the Web and found others have this same problem with emacs in CentOS 5.4 but have not found any solution. I installed emacs in a base CentOS Amazon EC2 instance as follows:
What command could I use in terminal to delete all ASCII characters? That is, delete a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and all punctuation? I have a file containing Chinese characters, and I want to remove everything else and leave just the Chinese.
I can use grep to leave only the lines that have Chinese in them, but this still leaves a lot of non-Chinese stuff on those lines. Does anyone know how I could actually remove everything that isn't Chinese?
While modifying the definition of my PS1, I saw that "[" and "]" markers should be added to help bash to compute the right display lenght. Many exemples on the web do not use them or even mention them.I searched for a solution to add them automatically, like with sed, but I didn't find any example.Are they still needed and is there a recommandation not to use sed to define PS1?
I have my OpenSuse 11.1 box set up with utf-8, however, every time I try to open a file with utf-8 characters with vi it can't handle those characters properly.
I think this goes here, but I'm not sure. I decided that XAMPP had been troublesome enough. MySQL never worked. So I decided to instal the LAMP stack offered by YaST. I went about installing it thinking that it would all work. But it seems that I was wrong. So I try to start mysql, and here's what I get:
Code: the-matrix:~ # mysql start ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) or Code: the-matrix:~ # rcmysql start Starting service MySQL warning: /var/mysql/mysql.sock didn't appear within 30 seconds chmod: cannot access `/var/run/mysql/mysqld.pid': No such file or directory
i am using liferay5.2(mysql included in the download pack) on fedora. while liferay is working fine but i cannot connect to mysql.i am getting the error
[ [root@localhost ~]# ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp [root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/mysqld start Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon.
[code]....
i didnt find the mysql.sock file in the location /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. i cannot find the portal-ext.properties file also to make intial settings.
I have installed Mysql in Ubuntu 9, for the use of roundcube database.After installing iam getting the error like this
* Stopping MySQL database server mysqld [ OK ] * Starting MySQL database server mysqld [ OK ] * Checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables.
So because of this in the roundcube configuration its giving the error message that MYSQL is not installed. So Kindly give me a idea how to solve this.
I'm having problems connecting to the mysql database on my system. I first noticed this when I was trying to set up the program anymeal. I subsequently tried using MySQL Administrator (mysql-admin), but had no luck. It gives my the following feedback:
Code:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
Click the 'Ping' button to see if there is a networking problem. I press the ping button, and it seems to connect.
I've downloaded and installed MySQL-client-5.1.53-1.glibc23.x86_64.rpm. I'm rather new to linux so it might be I haven't started the server. Unfortunately I have no idea which file is responsible for that. It is also possible that my head isn't functioning correctly ( if at all ).
Error I receive is:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
Mysql starting problem after changing mysqladmin password.I tried all the solutions available on forums, but not solve the problem.At last I restored the mysql db backup, this make mysql service start, but till other databases not showing all tables.
I've been attempting to set up a LAMP for local web development, which meant installing mysql-server. But now have a problem when trying to run mysql, I get:-
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
When trying to downgrade mysql-server I saw that there are dependency problems between the various modules (but can't recall which). But whichever route I truied the results are always the same.
Thought about trying XAMPP but I note that even has it's problems, is there any way I can get a lamp set up on FC14, or must I give it up as a bad job.
Howver, just been trying to again to fix the problems with downgrading mysql and get:-
I have install mysql on my fedora12. My different mysql server is located in us. I want to check health status and hits per seconds everything. Is it possible with mysql-administrator command.
now a these days i am connect through ssh and excuting below command
#mytop mysql -u root -p <passwd>
In my mysql db i have added the userip & passwd (allowed the privileages for that ip)
If i use mysql-administrator i am getting below error
MySQL Error Nr. 2003 Can't connect to MySQL server on '66.98.152.64' (111)
I'm trying to setup wordpress on my server, which of course I need mysql for. I setup a database the other day, which worked perfectly, but I had to start again as I put some information in wrong. Now, I can create a database fine, but when I run
Code: GRANT ALL ON wordpress.* TO wordpress@localhost IDENTIFIED BY "password"; I get the output:
I have MySQL 5.1.34 and PHP 5.1.6 installed on my system, how do I install php-mysql? Each time I try, it says
mysql-5.0.45-7.el5.i386 from base has depsolving problems -- > mysql conflicts with mysql-server-community error: mysql conflicts with mysql-server-community
I thought that the problem is in the phpMyAdmin not in the mysql. But now i think different. It seems that the problem is right in the mysql. I think that there was no root user, when mysql was freshly installed. Unfortunately i did everything i can find on internet (some tutorials) but they don`t helped me at all, maybe i fu**ed up the mysql service. So i reinstalled it, and when i want to start it there is no file mysql.sock and i get the following:
linux-nepg:~ # service mysql restart Restarting service MySQL Shutting down service MySQL done Starting service MySQL warning: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock didn't appear within 30 seconds
How can I really, really remove everything related to mysql / mysql-server. I read and tried all kinds of things, but on every reinstall there is still old mysql stuff there, for example an existing password. Even resetting the password does not help.
Reason of removal: it looks like the mysql setup is really corrupt, so I want to remove, and then do a fresh install. Running Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit
