sanjeevk Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Hi anyone can help me. I have a site which needs to be run in both English and French. I have problem with the encoding (Stress problem). When i include the metatag: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> , it works fine in most of the cases but not in all the cases . In my older database and in some other cases it doesnt work. i need my site to support both <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> and <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> I have no idea what to do .

But what i have problem is for the admin part i need the system to support <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> but in some cases i have database which supports utf-8. for example , i have included é for é character. The problem is all the database datas are not in é for é character. In dome cases just a copy é character is used.

effigy Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I would convert everything to UTF-8. Perhaps you can run the data through htmlentities? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/75624-encoding-problems-utf-8/#findComment-382798 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanjeevk Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 I would convert everything to UTF-8. Perhaps you can run the data through htmlentities? Thanks, i have converted all the datas to UTF-8 now . Working fine with the database and static problems but now what i have problems is with the meta tags and javascript. The meta tags are not showing the French characters and also the javascripts alerts are not showing the french languages . I had change all meta tags and javascripts variable to UTF-8 format.

effigy Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 The meta tag is indicating UTF-8 and the French characters are encoded in UTF-8? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/75624-encoding-problems-utf-8/#findComment-383545 Share on other sites More sharing options...
