    <p>i have the following bit of code:</p> <pre><code>function appear($data) { $output = ''; $unsee = unserialize ( $data ); if (is_array ( $nsee )) { $output .= '&lt;table&gt;' . ""; foreach ( $nsee as $button ) { $output .= loadbutton ( $button); } $output .= ' &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;IP&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;' . $_SERVER ['REMOTE_ADDR'] . '&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;' . ""; $output .= '&lt;/table&gt;' . ""; } return $output; } function loadbutton($button) { $output = ''; $output .= '&lt;tr&gt;' . ""; $output .= '&lt;td&gt;'; $output .= $button ['values']; $output .= '&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;'; $output .= $_POST [strtolower ( $button ['values'])] ; $output .= '&lt;/td&gt;' . ""; $output .= '&lt;/tr&gt;' . ""; return $output; } </code></pre> <p>when i use the appear function for the english serialized data, it works perfectly and outputs fine.</p> <p>But when i use it for the arabic serilaized data. everything works except the arabic letters appear as "????" and not as actual arabic letters.</p> <p>I have verified the data in the database, everything is UTF-8, and everything is valid db wise and saving serilaized wise. but the output and unserialization is incorrect.</p> <p>Do you know a way to fix this? Does unserialization support arabic letters? if not then why does it save arabic letters correctly but not fetches them?</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p>The problem i believe is in the call $button ['values'].</p> <p>my <code>$button</code> array is <code>array ( 'values' =&gt; 'Field Value')</code></p> <p>no solution comes to mind. i know it should work.</p> <p><strong>SOLUTION:</strong></p> <p>The problem was in my mysql insert statement of the serialized data. i was inserting in latin. a simple, idiotic mistake.</p> <p>Thank you for your help.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
