What is you charset set to?
do you have this line in your headers:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />

**Lambda** · Jan 9, 2007 06:20

Nop, it doesnt work..

I think the problem is about this:

How can i change it?

**Lambda** · Jan 9, 2007 08:26

The problem is in the server, i past his code to the frontpage and the characters were normal there......... stupid server...

Edit: or not.... arrrg!!! i dunno lol

What the hell is going on?? :fear:

**Lambda** · Jan 9, 2007 13:28

anyone? :'(

**Lambda** · Jan 10, 2007 10:48

I still cant solve this...

Im getting crazy!!! lol

any idea?

**Ize** · Jan 10, 2007 10:58

Can you paste your source code here? (only the HTML outputted to the browser will do)

**prince_mallow** · Jan 10, 2007 12:49

you can find out it's html equivalent I use Mailto obfuscator and it translates them into for example & and &123;

But since it looks like a forum I wouldn't know how to make it so that it does it for everyone.

**Ize** · Jan 10, 2007 12:51

htmlspecialchars ( ) does that

**kyberfabrikken** · Jan 10, 2007 13:56

Your server is probably configured to send content as UTF-8, while your page is in ISO-8859-1. Try installing live http-headers or similar extension in mozilla, and have a look at the headers from the server. Look for Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8.

**Lambda** · Jan 10, 2007 14:22

The site is here: http://www.lisbonxtyle.com/

I think nothing is wrong with the headers, because i pasted the html code into frontpage and the strange characters disapeared..

The html is this:

Code:

<html>

<head>

<title>LisbonXtyle P&#225;gina Oficial</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />

I think the problem comes from the database, all tables are in latin1, but i have this configuration underlined, that i dont know how to change it.

**Lambda** · Jan 10, 2007 14:34

With HTML headers plugin i get:

...
Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7
...
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
....

But... where am i missing on the html code?

Oh, we definitely don't want any suicides.

Your server sends the document as UTF-8 encoded text, although your document is actually ISO-8859-1 encoded. You can verify that this is true by selecting the menu View > Character Encoding. There will be a bullet next to UTF-8. If you select ISO-8859-1, your page will look as you intend it to.

Normally, the browser will use the content-type header to determine what encoding your document is in. If the server doesn't send any headers, it will instead rely on a meta-tag in the document, if you supply one. If the server sends a content-type header, AND you have a meta-tag, then some browsers will attribute more authority to the meta-tag than the content-type, and some browsers will do the opposite. I therefore suggest that you don't rely on the meta-tag, but only on the actual headers sent. (Those are the ones you can see with live-headers).

In your case, the server sends a content-type header, which says that the document is UTF-8, while the meta-tag specifies that encoding is ISO-8859-1. You can do one of two things to fix the problem: Either you configure the server to send ISO-8859-1 as the charset for your documents, or you change your documents to UTF-8. The first may be the easiest, since you only have to do it once for all your documents. There's a slight complication, if your documents are dynamically generated (Eg. they are PHP-documents). In this case, PHP can override the content-type header which the server sends. If this is the case, you can simply put a header-call at the very top of your PHP-document, similar to this:

PHP Code:


<?php
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1");
?>

This must be at the top of your script, since headers must be sent before any regular output is sent - otherwise the servers default content-type is used (Which is UTF-8).

Coincidentally, there was an article published here at sitepoint, just yesterday, which explains charset issues. Have a look at that, if you want some more thorough explanation :

The server doesnt let me change to ISO-8859-1, i changed all the headers to utf8, and the database's tables to utf8, but the problem persists.

This server uses 'DirectAdmin' to manage the configurations, if you know a way to change the character set, i didnt find it 'til now in any menu.

direct admin web site: http://www.directadmin.com/

But thanks anyway.

**kyberfabrikken** · Jan 11, 2007 15:48

Sorry - That was a typo. You should put this in the top of your script:

PHP Code:


<?php
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1");
?>

Otherwise, you're just telling the server to serve the pages as UTF-8 (Which it's already defaulting to).

1st i converted all mysql tables into utf8, and then i putted the ISO-8859-1 header function like you said in my .php file. strangely, with a utf8 DB and iso html it works well as you can see on the site:

Thanks!
