Setup MySQL for Turkish Characters and Turkish Collation Support

To setup MySQL for supporting Turkish characters, change database and table character set
and collation:

CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_turkish_ci


Make sure client connects using UTF8 encoding with the following code just after database connection made:

mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8");


Finally add this "meta" tag into header section of output HTML page:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
