Re: arabic character not saved in MySQL

[Peter Brawley]

You tried everything at mysql.rjweb.org/doc.php/charcoll including the link to Arabic in mysql tables, and nothing worked? That's surprising.

You could try the solution offered at www.adviesenzo.nl/examples/php_mysql_charset_fix/, with one change: instead of calling SET NAMES utf8, which does not control the client charset, call mysql_set_charset('utf8') or mysqli_set_charset('utf8') instead, because those functions do control the client charset.

If either of those works, then you'll just need to find the equivalent Connector/Net functionality & syntax.

Otherwise consider asking the question in the Connector/Net forum.
