Re: Default charset

at the top of your script you could add a: header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8'); that would work aswell (according to RFC 2616: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.17) ;) - tul Graziano Liberati wrote:

Hi, I need to set the default charset for my application to UTF-8 instead of the default one of the webserver that is ISO-8859-1. I've tried to change the value of default_charset in php.ini and all it's ok, but I need to set the value only for one application so I've tried to use the ini_set function in this way: ini_set('default_charset','utf-8'); The problem is that that the ini_set function seems to be ignored, I don't have the same effect of changing the php.ini configuration file, with the ini_set function the default charset is still ISO-8859-1. Someone can help me? Regards.
