PHP doesnt store Arabic/Persian text correctly in my XAMPP server

Question

I have a PHP script that gets text as $name from my android app and store image with the $name as image name in my local XAMPP server in $path = "uploads/$name.png" location .

When i type Persian/Arabic data it store them like:

ماست.png
ما ست.png

but it works like charm in English text :

carrot.png

Can any one help me to store the Persian/Arabic correctly as they typed?

Thanks.

<?php
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST'){
    $image = $_POST['image'];
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    define('DB_USERNAME', 'root');
    define('DB_PASSWORD', '');
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
    define('DB_NAME', 'android');
    $conn = new mysqli(DB_HOST, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME);
    mysqli_set_charset($conn,"utf8");
    $path = "uploads/$name.png";
    $actualpath = "http://192.168.1.107/login1/image_up/$path";
    $sql = "INSERT INTO imgnews (userNews,userMatn) VALUES ('$actualpath','$name')";
    //
    if(mysqli_query($conn,$sql)){
        file_put_contents($path,base64_decode($image));
        echo "Successfully Uploaded";
    }
//mysql_real_escape_string($conn,$name);
    mysqli_close($conn);
}else{
    echo "Error";

Answer 1

change the collation of database or table to UTF-8_Unicode_ci

Answer 2

Make sure you have set you db collection to UTF-8 Then Add this header to your php script header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); your php Script should also support utf-8.
