Setting page encoding?

[Boris_Senker]

I have to put a special character into TITLE tag of the page, related to ISO 8859-2.

The usual

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-2">

Works after reloading the page or including (reload again) and displays a special char correctly.

However, doesn't work on the first page load, although the above portion of the code is actually before the TITLE tag.

I have tried using PHP encoding like

<? mb_http_input("iso-8859-2");
mb_http_output("iso-8859-2"); ?>

But I am getting the

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mb_http_input() in ....

error. What am I doing wrong?

The mentioned special character is related to Croatian language and, as I said, displays correctly after reloading.

Thanks, guys 😉

1. You need PHP 4 >= Version 4.0.6 before using those functions.
2. I believe you are using the wrong functions. See the examples below.

/ Set internal character encoding to UTF-8 /
mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");

/ Display current internal character encoding /
echo mb_internal_encoding();
