Mysql table rows show as questionmarks

Question

Hi guys,
I'm trying to display the rows of my database table in a datagrid, but as their names are written in bulgarian they appear as questionmarks. Any tips on how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I figured it out myself... Just wanted to post the solution if anybody has the same
problem. I had a php script that I used to populate a data grid. Here is the code with the line I had to add to make the table names appear normally:
<?PHP
class PlayersService {
public function getPlayers()
  $connection = mysqli_connect("host", "username", "password", "db") or die(mysqli_connect_error());
  mysqli_query($connection, "SET CHARACTER SET utf8");
  $sql = "SELECT * FROM players";
  $result = mysqli_query($connection, $sql) or die("Query failed: " . mysqli_error($connection));
  $rows = array();
  while ($row = mysqli_fetch_object($result))
   $rows[] = $row ;
  return $rows;
?>
