[SOLVED] Session is not encoding my string properly

[parka]

It seems like my sessions are not encoding my string properly. I can't seem to remember needing to set the encoding or charset or whatever.

 

Here's my code.

 

$sString = 'television’s';
$_SESSION['badstring'] = $sString;
echo $_SESSION['badstring'];

// Prints televisionÕs

 

Note the typographer's quote mark after the word 'television'.

 

It prints televisionÕs instead of television’s

 

Any ideas how to solve this?

I just ran that on my local server and it has printed out properly, has this just happened recently, and if so do you know of any changes that have been made to the server recently?

I do not know if the pages Content-Language is set to something else maybe that affects it?

 

Check your phpinfo and if anything weird is going on with the language. Or maybe it is giving out garbled junk with sessions cause the session files are being trashed?

 

But yea, check your configurations etc.

Thanks all

 

I think it's the encoding for my .php file. When saved as a UTF-8 encoding, the echo() command works ok.
