Okay. I'll make a last bid for help on this because, while people here have been very patient and helpful, this actually isn't PHP-related.
To summarise: I have a page which has encoding set to iso-8859-1 in a meta statement. This shows some text, pulled from a MySQL database, containing accented characters. The MySQL table and the data it contains are identical on both the live system (on shared hosting) and my local system. In both cases, the MySQL server is set to use latin1. I've just heard from the shared hosting company that its Apache 1.3 server is set so that it has no default charset. The list of supported charsets includes utf-8, but not specifically iso-8859-1 (ISO-8859-8, ISO-2022-JP, ISO-2022-KR, ISO-8859-2, Big5, WINDOWS-1251, CP866, ISO-8859-5, KOI8-R, UCS-2, UCS-4, UTF-8). To make a comparison, I configured my local Apache 2 server the same way. When I view the live page (www.webvivant.com/market/index.php), it renders the characters correctly when viewed as iso-8859-1 (which is what the browser defaults to as per the meta statement). It does not render correctly when viewed as utf-8. When I view the same page locally, it also comes down as iso-8859-1, but the characters do not render correctly - instead each accented char appears as two characters. When I switch the browser to utf-8, it renders correctly. Huh? -- @+ Steve -- PHP Internationalization Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
