10drill Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I've recently moved a friend's site from a shared server at pair Networks to a VPS I manage. With the exact same code, certain entities, such as MS Word "smart" quotes render correctly on the pair server, but appear as ? on my server. Example: pair: Salai Tun Than’s passport cancelled mine: Salai Tun Than�s passport cancelled In both cases PHP is running as an Apache module, versions are nearly the same (5.2.4 @ pair, 5.2.5 @ mine), and I've enabled the same extensions as pair on my PHP build. I know how to fix this problem by changing the PHP code of the site, but that is not an option (not my site). When I view the example above in phpMyAdmin (2.11.2) on my server everything looks fine. Anyone have any idea how I can make these characters render correctly on the site by modifying the PHP, Apache, or MySQL configuration? Thanks!

I think you want to change AddDefaultCharset in apache (or htaccess) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/76815-solved-stupid-smart-quotes-rendered-as/#findComment-390099 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added AddDefaultCharset On inside of the VirtualHost containers in my httpd.conf for this site. Thanks!
