[RESOLVED] How to convert ’ to '

[colinoo8]

I have checked the php site, but it would help if somone can point me to a function that can correct unreadable text on my page like " ’ …” … ’ ” “" It looks okay im my database, but on the page... unreadable.

Im sure this must be a common problem.

Thanks

You have a different encoding of characters in your database than the way you serve them.

Test this: In your browser, go to view-encoding, and manually flip through the encodings, untill you find one that shows that characters correctly. This should match the encoding in your database.

In your page header you now add that encoding as page encoding:

e.g., for this forum that is:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />

In your case it is more likely to be UTF-8.

Thanks, yes i checked and the page was setup to charset=windows-1250

it should have been <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
