Re: Accented character 'echo'ed randomly

Do you have a : <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> in the <head> section? Sometimes the browser tries to figure out the charset, just as it figures to assume an </p> when it finds a new <p> and if figures out so many things, sometimes it simply fails. Otherwise, use htmlentities() to escape characters not plain USASCII Satyam "John Coppens" <info@jcoppens.com> wrote in message news:20050404213708.45697d51.info@jcoppens.com... Hi people. I submitted the issue below to the bug site, but the people there suggested I present it here. I've tried some more, but until now, I couldn't find any cause for the problem. Any suggestion would be appreciated! John -------------------- Description: ------------ I have a very simple web-page script with mainly 'echo' commands. Randomly the accented characters are replaced by question-marks. If or not the question mark appears seems to be depending on the page contents, though at least in one of the cases, the only thing that changes in the page is a GIF image. All this happens in the same html-session, using the same script. I've seen other -similar- reports, though none about 'echo'. I can't be sure if this is an apache problem or php-related. Sorry if was already solved... Please indicate. Reproduce code: --------------- echo "Página Índice"; Expected result: ---------------- Página Índice Actual result: -------------- Randomly Página Índice P?gina ?ndice
