    Hello DP users.
    Im really newbie with MySQL and databases, because I was on blogs but now I decide to purchased my domain and get my site up.
    I did everything like I must but I encountered a lot of problem because of Language- Greek. I figured out with most of things and the big problem that I stick with now is that my posts links are rubish in the browser not Greek neither English like this: http://www.mysite.com/Business/5/&alpha-&delta&sigma&phi&gamma&rho&epsilon&rho&gamma&eta-&eta&gamma&alpha&epsilon&eta&tau&epsilon&eta-&rho&sigmaf&gamma&eta&rho&eta&beta&epsilon

    this : &alpha-&delta&sigma&phi&gamma&rho&epsilon&rho&gamma&eta-&eta&gamma&alpha&epsilon&eta&tau&epsilon&eta-&rho&sigmaf&gamma&eta&rho&eta&beta&epsilon is the title of the post in greek but showing like this!! and the same thing is shown in my SQL database for titles descriptions,tags.... I must say that the site in itself display Greek without problem.

    database is in utf8 unicode-ci

    Please any help is very welcome! Thank you

    In your <html> tag, do you specify the language?

    <html lang="el">

    (Greek is el.)
