This is not correct - HTML meta tags override HTTP headers, as they are a higher level of abstraction and convey a knowledge the lower level cannot have, of the content of the transmission. You are right in your rationale. It is the standard that is broken: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/charset.html#h-5.2.2 1. An HTTP charset parameter in a Content-Type field. 2. A META declaration with http-equiv set to Content-Type and a value set for charset. 3. The charset attribute set on an element that designates an external resource. I know there are some broken browsers (no names) which for some weird combination of settings disregard HTML meta tags in favor of headers, but this is hardly the norm, nor the standard.

Hi all! I have two major problems after installing RH9 over my RH7.3, The new apache had many problems with the configuration, Most of which I solved using the apache-online documentation. I am left with two problems unsolved: 1) Hebrew pages are sent as western encoding... the text is right but for some reason the browser sets itself to western instead of Hebrew. if I set it to Hebrew its fine (until I refresh or click a link). I can think of two options to solve this: a) bad solution: embed a encoding tag in every HTML file (did not work, I might had a mistake in the tag) b) fix the apache configuration (I have no idea what parameters are causing this) 2) the 2nd problem is that my PHP script does not recognize parameters, like test.php?active=truebad=good the parameters $active $bad are both empty (WHY?!? OH WHY??) Thanks, As you can probably see - I am very frustrated.

You can explicitly set the default encoding that Apache uses to send page by adding this line: AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-8-i (or any other character set you wish to use by default) 2) the 2nd problem is that my PHP script does not recognize parameters, like test.php?active=truebad=good the parameters $active $bad are both empty (WHY?!? OH WHY??) Please note that as of PHP 4.2.0, the setting for register_globals is set to off by default, which will cause GET parameters not to be registered as global variables. you can either set reigster_globals to on explicitly in /etc/php.ini, or use the global $HTTP_GET_VARS, $_GET or $_REQUEST arrays. I personally prefer the last as it allows the script to also accept the same variables from POST or from the session, or the second if you only wish to get the variables from the query string. using register_globals to access external data is frowned upon as it is considered a security risk. -- Oded ::..

Starting from version 4.3(or was it 4.2?), PHP does no longer register GPC(Get/Post/Cookies) in the global namespace by default, unless explictly instructed It is considered a bad practice for quite a time, both from code maintaince and security prospectives. I think you should refer to the PHP manual to read more about this issue.

I know there are some broken browsers (no names) which for some weird combination of settings disregard HTML meta tags in favor of headers, but this is hardly the norm, nor the standard. From the apache manual (http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#adddefaultcharset): This directive specifies the name of the character set that will be added to any response that does not have any parameter on the content type in the HTTP headers. This will override any character set specified in the body of the document via a |META| tag. A setting of |AddDefaultCharset Off| disables this functionality. |AddDefaultCharset On| enables Apache's internal default charset of |iso-8859-1| as required by the directive. You can also specify an alternate charset to be used.
