Answer 1

I have solved my Hebrew language problem. It was a database and table row/field encoding issue. Here is the solution I used. I took help from another answer and the link is given below, in case anyone needs it.

1. The database collation has to be utf8_general_ci.
2. The collation of the table with Hebrew has to be utf8_general_ci.

3. In the PHP connection script put

   header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
   

4. In the xhtml head tag put

5. If you are using MySQLi put this code in the connection script after selecting the database:

   mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
   

   If you are using PDO, put

   $conn->query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
   

The first answer helped me and I took it from there
