.htaccesss encoding issues

[megetron]

Hi,

I haveof issues regarding encoding. in my old hosting server I had none.

To enforce the server to use utf-8. looks like the server use another encoding, so this is my htaccess file:

 

<FilesMatch "\.(htm|html|css|js)$">

ForceType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8'

</FilesMatch>

<Files "default.php">

ForceType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8'

</Files>

<Files "emailvalidate.php">

ForceType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8'

</Files>

 

 

When I try to execute emailvalidate.php I get a strange behaviour. here is the output:

connection($host,$user,$pass,$db); if((!isset($B1))and($flag=="0")) { // form auto submitted by List $event = $eventcompo; if($event=="ChooseEvent") { $msg="Please select an Event!

<Files "emailvalidate.php">

ForceType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8'

So, you are forcing the server to serve the PHP file as a HTML static file.  You are getting the desired results that you asked for.  If you want PHP parsed as PHP, then do not force the type to HTML.

Thanks! but how do I php files on server to use UTF-8?

Why did I change server and the charachters displayed badly?

you can use the AddCharset directive to set the specified extension to use the specified charset. (e.g)

 

AddCharset UTF-8 .php

 

basically, this will cause all the files with the targeted extension to send a Content-Type: header with the charset as whatever you specify.

 

Note that this will change all of the .php files in all of the subdirectories stemming from the current location.

 

You can also target one file (e.g.)

 

<files "example.php">
AddCharset UTF-8 .php
</files>
