    <p>I am importing data from outside into my database MYSQL using PHP Scripts. Encoding my database charset to utf8 from the query </p> <pre><code>ALTER DATABASE DEFAULT CHARSET 'utf8'; </code></pre> <p>then i executed a query to see all charsets by </p> <pre><code>SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set%'; </code></pre> <p>output is:</p> <pre><code>+--------------------------+----------------------------+ | Variable_name | Value | +--------------------------+----------------------------+ | character_set_client | utf8 | | character_set_connection | utf8 | | character_set_database | utf8 | | character_set_filesystem | binary | | character_set_results | utf8 | | character_set_server | latin1 | | character_set_system | utf8 | | character_sets_dir | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ | +--------------------------+----------------------------+ 8 rows in set (0.00 sec) </code></pre> <p>as we can see <code>character_set_database</code> is set to <code>utf8</code> but still if i write a code from my PHP Script to see the encoding as</p> <pre><code>echo $charset = mysql_client_encoding($cn); </code></pre> <p>the output is <code>latin1</code> . From the above query latin1 is for server only. Can anyone tell me what exactly i am missing as i am unable to encode my Chinese and Japaneses characters to database.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong> </p> <p>I am importing a database from outside which have unicode characters as 我的上网主页 and 嶏紞鎴戠殑 in Chinese , Japaneses and other different languages. But when i import data to my database tables i get ????? instead of above characters. How can i encode these characters? Is it utf-8 or 16 and how i can recognize that which encoding will support these characters?</p>

    1. COYou should better explain your real problem, because `mysql_client_encoding` returns only the charset that has been set on the moment of the connection.

    2. COmysql_set_charset() right after you connect; also, setting the default for the database won't change existing tables.

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.
