Re: problem with greek language

Thanks, But the problem is thath I can't put directly into code the greek text with copy/paste from the .doc file in the PHP editor. I chahged the encoding for the editor to greek charset, but when I paste it, the result is "??????????? ????" ( questiomarks ) . rouvas wrote:

Hi Rosen, either use ISO-8859-7 for the encoding or UTF-8. If you use ISO-8859-7 your site will not need any modifications (either than replacing the "&tau, ..., etc" symbols with the actual characters). If you use UTF-8 you will of course have to modify your strings to make them UTF-8 compatible. Please, take into account that using the "τ&eta, ..., etc" symbols is *not* guaranteed to work for users visiting your site from Greece. No matter what the standards say, there are problems. Trust me. I live in Greece :-) -Stathis On Tuesday 04 April 2006 15:39, Rosen wrote:

Hi, I have one very big problem: I create website with english and greek language. I use "iso-8859-1" encoding for my website. I show the greek language text with encoded chars like "τηλεόρα&si;" - I copy/paste this from Openoffice documents. On the website I have no problems - everything shows ok, but when I pass this greek encoded string to javascript - i.e. "alert('τη');" the browser doesn't decode the greek symbols and the alert shows me the same :"τη" Have someone some idea how to solve this problem ? Thanks in advance, Rosen
