Hi again.
I have a project that gets from mysql the data that i search.
Until 10 minutes ago, the results could not display me correctly the Greek characters from mysql.
The search system searches the title of the item which contains English and Greek characters.
I solve this problem with this :
I use notepad for any encoding i do between ansi, unicode and utf8.
I wrote into notepad the title in English and for the Greek letters i wrote them in HTML encoded characters and i saved it as ANSI.
On phpmyadmin I uploaded the file choosing utf8 for Character set of the file and ANSI for sql compatibility.
i searched for that English word i wrote in the title and displayed to me the result WITH GREEK LETTERS correctly.
This is the only way to display Greek letters. I tried everything.
The problem is :
When i searched using that Greek letters that i wrote in the title the result showed me nothing. Then i searched again using the HTML encoded characters i used for that title and i got the result with Greek letters!
Having in mind that with HTML encoded characters the system found me the result, I guess there must be a line that it will convert the Greek characters to HTML encoded characters before it gives me the results.
Anyone knows anything about this?

Check database table. What's its collation? UTF8_*?

My greek data is written in the database using the decimal format http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40...s/symbols.html
The only way to get the results displayed is when i search with those decimal codes.
I want to convert the greek letters that i write in the searchbox to those decimal codes before it gives me the results, with this way i will get the correct search results.

You need to convert input search data to html entities before you find in database. php.net/htmlentities

i did that.. i guess i do not know where to put it in my code.
/* generate query syntax for searching in auction */
$search_words = explode (" ", $qquery);
/* query part 1 */
$qp1 = "";
$qp = "";
$qp1 = htmlentities($qp1);
$qp1 .=
" (title LIKE '%".
addslashes($qquery).
"%' OR id=".intval($q).") ";
$qp .= " (cat_name LIKE '%".addslashes($qquery)."%') ";
$addOR = true;
while ( list(,$val) = each($search_words) ) {
$val = ereg_replace("%","\\%",$val);
$val = ereg_replace("_","\\_",$val);
if ($addOR) {
$qp1 .= " AND ";
$qp .= " AND ";
}
$addOR = true;
$qp1 .=
" (title LIKE '%".
addslashes($val).
"%') ";
$qp .= "(cat_name LIKE '%".addslashes($qquery)."%') ";
}
// die($qp1);
// print $qp."<BR>";
$sql_count = "SELECT count(*) FROM PHPAUCTIONXL_auctions
WHERE ( $qp1 )
AND ( closed='0')
AND ( suspended='0')
AND private='n'
AND starts<=".$NOW."
ORDER BY buy_now";
$sql = "SELECT * FROM PHPAUCTIONXL_auctions
WHERE ( $qp1 )
AND ( closed='0')
AND ( suspended ='0')
AND private='n'
AND starts<=".$NOW."
ORDER BY buy_now"; Last edited by Punkis448 : Sep 20th, 2008 at 10:45 pm.
