Title: Language Encoding
Post by: shelaby on February 15, 2011, 10:14:27 AM

Hello
I installed the SMF and updated it via the forum admin control panel, I also used the UTF8 files, and finally uploaded all the Arabic language package, but the problem still exists.
The problem is letters are shown as ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? when I try to add categories or topics.
PLEASE ADVICE

Hi Islam
Let me tell you I'm not good in web designing and programing. I usually use ready-to-use scripts. So please tell me how to encode my DB to UTF-8
Thank you
Ayman
