Hi! When a user sends data from a <form>, how can I detect which charset the browser used to send the data to the server? Can I assume that it's always the same as the first charset in HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET? Hmm, no, doesn't seem like it. At least not in Galeon when I reset the charset manually. :( If a user sets his browser to use UTF-8 (or whatever) and then submits a form with a text field, how do I find out which charset was used?
