riots1 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Some of my characters when pulling from a mysql database when they display in the browser they look like "�" I have no idea why. But they go in as a ' or a ® but when they are displayed they come out with a "�" in Firefox and a [] in Internet Explorer.. Any help be appreciated Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/183881-why-do-some-characters-come-out-with-%EF%BF%BD/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
co.ador Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 go here http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=631407&highlight=co.ador I had the same issue as you. I think it's the case of conflicting character encoding ! ISO-8859-1 being processed/displayed as UTF-8 or vice versa. compare the character encoding of the page in which a user rates items to the page in which the submitted data is displayed.

riots1 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Ive tried to put <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> and <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> in the heading with no success. let me tell you my situation.. I have a wordpress and directory site together. Im pulling data from the directory fields to display a report to a different page and using it as an include page. http://wellnessconnections.net/educational-guide/ here is the directory. http://directory.wellnessconnections.net possibly they can have 2 different char sets. Maybe this will make it a little clearer.
