I created the following script to query a table and return the first 30 results. The query returns 30 results, but they do not have any text or information. Why would this be?
The table stores Vietnamese characters. The database is mysql4.
Here's the page: http://saomaidanang.com/recentposts.php
Here's the code:
<?php
header( 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8' );
//CONNECTION INFO
$dbms = 'mysql';
$dbhost = 'xxxxx';
$dbname = 'xxxxxxx';
$dbuser = 'xxxxxxx';
$dbpasswd = 'xxxxxxxxxxxx';
$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpasswd ) or die('Error connecting to mysql');
mysql_select_db($dbname , $conn);
//QUERY
$result = mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8");
$cmd = 'SELECT * FROM `phpbb_posts_text` ORDER BY `phpbb_posts_text`.`post_subject` DESC LIMIT 0, 30 ';
$result = mysql_query($cmd);
?>

echo(utf8_encode($myrow ['post_subject']));
echo 'post text:';
echo(utf8_encode($myrow ['post_text']));
}
?>
