[WSG] utf8 character display problem
Hi All, Not sure if this is the correct group to post this to, so feel free to point me elsewhere. Here's the issue: We are working on a site that incorporates Russian text. It displays OK on our development server, but when transferring the files to the live server we get garbled output. For example, the following test file on the development server incorporates Russian text into a menu: http://dev.logical.co.uk/imperial-russian-beta/utf8-test.php However, the same file uploaded to the live server displays the last menu item incorrectly: http://www.imperial-russian-dating.com/utf8-test.php The file has been saved as utf8 encoded in the editor (Komodo) and then uploaded to each server. Any ideas ?

Re: [WSG] utf8 character display problem
Hi Rimantas, Ah, very useful to know, many thanks for that. The problem is that the site is on a shared server, so we may not be able to edit the Apache config file, but maybe I can use PHP to send a header instead?

Re: [WSG] utf8 character display problem
Hey Rimantas, I added a line of PHP code as follows: ?php header(Content-Type:text/html; charset=UTF-8); ? and it works fine now. I also installed Live Headers in FF for future debugging.

Re: [WSG] utf8 character display problem
you should also be able to add/edit a .htaccess file on the shared web space and add the following: AddDefaultCharset utf-8 most hosts, even shared hosts should allow this (and it saves adding php headers to every page) Thanks, David On 7/7/09 18:46, Nick Roper wrote: Hey Rimantas, I added a line of PHP code as follows: ?php header(Content-Type:text/html; charset=UTF-8); ? and it works fine now.
