Question

I’m doing a JsonP request to a php script hosted on a website i have.
The php script get results from DB and return them as Json.

The problem is that the DB contains Hebrew chars and i get them as ‘??????’ in the response.

Any idea how to solve this?

Here is the js code:

$.getJSON("http://flyfish.co.il/appdiet?callback=?",function(data){
$('p').text(data[0].food_name);
});

and the php code:

 <?php
header('Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');
require_once 'config.php';

$mysqli = new mysqli(HOST,USERNAME,PASSWORD,DB_NAME);

$query = "SELECT * from mytable";

if ($result = $mysqli->query($query)) 
{
$data = array();
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { 
    $data[] = $row;     
}
echo $_GET['callback'].'('.json_encode($data).')';
}  
else {
echo $_GET['callback'].'('.$mysqli->error.')';
} 
$mysqli->close();

Try adding a set names 'utf8'; before your select statement.
