i there are little ?(symbols) on the page, where there should be icelnadic letters.

 

This the code on the header.

<?PHP
session_start();

$theuser=$_SESSION["valid_user"];

if (!$_SESSION['lang_ice'])
{
$_SESSION['lang_en'] = true;
$_SESSION['lang_ice'] = false;
}

if (isset($_GET['lang']))
{
if ($_GET['lang'] == "en") 
{
$_SESSION['lang_en'] = true;
$_SESSION['lang_ice'] = false;
}
if ($_GET['lang'] == "ice") 
{
$_SESSION['lang_en'] = false;
$_SESSION['lang_ice'] = true;
}
}

Well i have inputted some myself and some if from a database.

 

This is the error that w3 validator gives.

 

 

Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 25  it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8  (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication.

The error was: utf8 "\xF3" does not map to Unicode

 

this is the code

<?PHP
session_start();
?>
