I have this kind of table on my Database MySql : CREATE TABLE `users`

  • 0

I have this kind of table on my Database MySql :

CREATE TABLE `users` (
`id` INT(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
`surname` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
`nickname` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
`password` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
`mail` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
`country` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
`birthday` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00',
`accessres` TINYINT(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`admin` TINYINT(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`datereg` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
`forum_ban` TINYINT(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`last_access` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)
COLLATE='utf8_general_ci'
ENGINE=MyISAM
ROW_FORMAT=DEFAULT
AUTO_INCREMENT=209

How you can see, collate is utf8_general_ci. The problem is when I export-import this table using HeidiSQL (6.0)-phpMYADMIN.

For example, if I have data such as Krüger, it is exported-imported as Krüger!
My whole application is on utf8, so on DB Krüger is really written as Krüger.

So there are some wrong in the export. What can I do? I think the problem is phpMyAdmin, because if I try to import the table again on HeidiSQL, the text are correct.

    Do you see the issue when you open the exported file or import it back into a database. If you are seeing the error when importing with phpMyAdmin, you might need to import via the command line and use the flag.

    --default-character-set=utf8

    Ive run into these issues as well and importing via the command line and using this flag has worked.

    If you have a file exported from phpMyAdmin, you can import it by doing this on the command line.

    mysql -u USER -p DATABASENAME --default-character-set=utf8 < dumpfile.sql
