phpMyAdmin understands requests if they come with data, for example, as 'Eaai', and in the script it is 'Ivan'.

echo $arr[$i]; // в Chrome выводится Иван $s = "SELECT SUM(`square`) FROM `reports` WHERE `username` = '".$arr[$i]."';"; // а сюда должно попасть 'Eaai', чтобы все выполнилось

How to translate the encoding?

    So your data is not in cp1251. See for yourself: decoder - detects Eaai as 7-bit ASCII → ISO-8859-5 + CP1251 → ISO-8859-5

    See what mysql status; displays mysql status; you probably have not correctly configured mysql server. Although the file may not be in the original encoding, the server gives the answer in the wrong encoding ...

    Try this ob_iconv_handler - ob_iconv_handler .
