Atomg Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I have a question conerning character encoding and php.I have put the line AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1 in my .htaccess file as this makes all my page using the correct encoding. My pages are in french so I need é à ù etc. All my html files are ok.But all my .php files are not.Their is two examples where i write ééé ààà êê ù etc. in html and in php I echo ééé ààà êê ù etc.[a href=\"http://beadventure.ca/test/char/index.html\" target=\"_blank\"]The correct webpage in html[/a][a href=\"http://beadventure.ca/test/char/index.php\" target=\"_blank\"]The NON-correct webpage in php[/a]I think its in the configuration of php. I'll need to contact my web host but I don't know what to say. And perhaps their is way without the need to contact them.I'm pretty sure that I can change something on my side (like a line of code or something) because I host a phpBB forum on this website (where phpBB forum is in php... lol =) ) and the é à ù are correctly rendered.I know that I can go in my internet otions and change the encoding by myself, but it's not very nice to do... =(I would like some help on this, thank you for your time everyone.

Atomg Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 Is my question too difficult? Should I post it in another forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomg Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 Andy, you'r solution was not working and I was already trying this.Perhaps their is something missing on my server configuration.However doing the following will ALWAYS work (for me...) (adding the header() at the top)[code]<?php// Default content type (allow àéîö...)header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1");?><html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><html lang="fr"><title>blank page</title></head><body>ééé ààà êê ù etc.</body></html>[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
