I'm trying to save a record to database.
When get value from input and save it to database there is no problem, like :
$request->input('name') is an input with value of 'سلام'
$provider->name = $request->input('name');
$provider->copyright_email = 'test@yahoo.com';
$provider->save();
But when i try give value from my controller problem appears.
Name will save '?' into database :
$provider->name = 'سلام';
$provider->copyright_email = 'test@yahoo.com';
$provider->save();
I've already added this code to config/database.php :
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_persian_ci',
- config you database file to
utf8_unicode_ci
Check the file config/database.php
:
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
Make sure your Mysql databases is set to utf8
and MySQL’s utf8mb4
is better
Make sure your file character set to UTF-8 without BOM
I personally think you problem in you IDE, try to use Atom.
config your database file to utf8mb4_unicode_ci
Check the file config/database.php :
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
I faced the same issue, the accepted answer dose not help me.
Here how i solved the issue in this way:
Go to your table in your DB, check the 'Collation', change it to :
utf8mb4_unicode_ci
Apply this to each field in the table.
This may help somebody. :)
also you can use below code for setting utf8
->charset('utf8')
