Zoranos Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi, i dont know if anyone have this problem: When i store some value in session and echo that inside <html> tags it wont show utf-8 signs, example: <?php $_SESSION['name'] = "Duško"; ?> <?php echo $_SESSION['name']; ?>//outside of html tag it will print Duško <html> <?php echo $_SESSION['name']; ?>//inside of html it will print: Du?ko <html> I have tried: -with utf8_encode(before storing in session) and later utf8_decode() - doesnt help -i have defined support for utf8 in html(<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />) and defined with header() in php - doesnt help -i have saved with utf8 DOM, without DOM - not working PHP version: 5.3.8 i dont have any solution for that, outside html everything is ok, but inside html tags utf-8 support doesnt work.. does anyone have solution for this?

kicken Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Try with utf8_encode, but do not decode it later. The browser will do that when it displays it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 - Keep that tag and/or a header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8"); - Save without the BOM. Otherwise PHP will incorrectly output that BOM right when it parses the file and you won't be able to use functions like session_start() or header(). Another thing: if you're writing these values inside the PHP file itself (like the code you posted) then the file itself has to be UTF-8 too.

That is weird, its wrong storing name in arraym, or somehow encode that... any solution, suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicken Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Make sure your connection to MySQL is set to UTF8 as well. mysql_set_charset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
