OK, hindi characters will be stored as multibyte characters (2 or 3 stored characters for each visual character). If you're adding via php, e.g. in an utf-8 page:

नमस्ते

through this:

$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO foo SET `mane3` = 'नमस्ते'");

will be stored as this:

नमसà¥à¤¤à¥‡

(17 or so characters)

So for a 6 character field, you actually need to store it as 18 characters.

Also, if you're doing any length or strtolower etc sort of stuff, use the mb_* functions in php. MySQL strlen function is multibyte safe.

Thank dear for your help.

but still i not able to store data in sql table in Hindi fonts.

my html form is like this :--

<form action="submit.php" method="post">
Name:<input type="text" name="name" size="20" /><br />
Address:<input type="text" name="address" size="20" /><br />
Phone: <input type="text" name="phone" size="20" /><br />
City:<input type="text" name="city" size="20" /><br />
State<input type="text" name="state" size="20" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Register" />
</form>

And my php page which store data in sql table is :-

<?php
$name=$_POST;

echo $name;

$con=mysql_connect("localhost","root","");

mysql_select_db("register",$con);


$query=mysql_query("INSERT INTO users VALUES (null,'$name')");

mysql_close($con);

?>

Data had store in sql table but not in hindi format it looks like :--

Ensure that your page is encoded with utf-8.

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

In the head area.

@vibhadevit - did you add data via the phpMySQL query box OR direct input OR php sql statement?

i dont know whats going wrong.

can you please send me your html form and php page code which store data in sql table. if i sotre data in sql table by cut and paste it will be in hindi. but when i store data by from . it will be converted in to symbols.

please send me your html form code and php page code

I have tried with following php code to insert hindi data.
And also using phpmyadmin tab.

<?
	mysql_connect('localhost','root','');
	mysql_select_db('test');
	
	mysql_query('SET character_set_results=utf8');
	mysql_query('SET names=utf8');
	mysql_query('SET character_set_client=utf8');
	mysql_query('SET character_set_connection=utf8');
	mysql_query('SET character_set_results=utf8');
	mysql_query('SET collation_connection=utf8_general_ci');
	
	$sql = "insert into tbl_hindi values ('कंप्यूटर कंप्यूटर ')";
	mysql_query($sql);
	
	$sql = "select * from tbl_hindi";
	$res = mysql_query($sql);
	while($sar = mysql_fetch_assoc($res))
	{		
		print_r($sar);
	}
?>

i had done all the things which is you told me. but i cant achieve my aim.

please send me complete code of html form and php page of storing data in sql table.


thanks

thanks dear,

it is also going better with me if i put data directly in sql query. but when i pur data from a php variable which store data from html from and try to store it in sql table it will changed.

please try to store data by a html form.

first of all fill the html form and get data in a php page.
and then store data in sql table by executing a query there.

The fact that it looks like gibberish in the DB is no problem. If you have the proper DB and html page encoding in place, it should echo back out correctly.

With form ...
