MySQL - insert japanese from PHP - Encoding Troubl

I'm trying to insert some japanese words in a mysql table! If I insert 'こんにちは' using phpMyAdmin, the word is displayed fine from phpMyAdmin. But if I try to insert it through php, as follow:

mysql_connect($Host, $User, $Password);
mysql_select_db($Database);

$qry = "INSERT INTO table VALUES (0 , 'こんにちは')";

echo mysql_query($qry);

In phpMyAdmin i see "ã“ã‚“ã«ã¡ã¯" ... why?

And if I try to fetch from the database:

$arr = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table where id = 1"));

echo $arr[1];

The browser shows nothing!!!

How can I solve?

Thank you in advance for your help!!!

~EDIT~

My database collation is setup to utf8_general_ci

~EDIT 2~

I don't need to display the output on an HTML page, but the japanese words are printed on a XML page whose encoding is setup to UTF-8.

$plist = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n";
$plist .= "<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC \"-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN\" \"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd\">\n";
$plist .= "<plist version=\"1.0\">\n";
$plist .= "<array>\n";
$plist .= "\t<dict>\n";
$plist .= "\t\t<key>test</key>\n";
$plist .= "\t\t<string>".$arr[1]."</string>\n";
$plist .= "\t</dict>\n";
$plist .= "</array>\n";
$plist .= "</plist>";

echo $plist;

the output of this code is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<array>
    <dict>
        <key>test</key>
        <string></string>
    </dict>
</array>
</plist>

So, there is no value for the key "test" ... what can I do? Thanks!

Problems solved using the function mysql_set_charset() after connecting to the database!

回答1:

try this before the insert query

mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8");

Also not sure if you set the proper charset of the database, and of the web page.

Charset in HTML Head section?

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

and/or something like

   header( 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8' );

Followings will help you get more ideas how to do it .. if something doesnt work commment back.

回答2:

you must set you Database Charset to utf8 and database collation to utf8_general_ci (or other utf8 collation) then I think your problem solved
