UTF8 problem with PHP

[phpguru]

here's my file

<?
$LANG["default_value"] = "Giá trị mặc định";
$LANG["update"] = "Cập nhật";


print_r($LANG);
?>

And here's my output

Cn_US.UTF-8

So, what's goin on :| , how to fix it?

You might try using this at the top of the page:

header('Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8') ;

Not sure if it will do anything though.

well for one thing php doesnt support unicode too well

then send a header as mention above

also set the meta html tag with utf8

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />

also use mbstring php extension for unicode string manioulation

and make sure your file is saved in unicode encoding

i don't think problem with encoding.
i think it's occurred from web server :-?

because with same this file, it running okey on other server
i encoded this file with many character encoding: utf-8 , iso 8859-1

but still this error :|
