PHP and accents

[sylvie]

HI!
I just install a macosX sever. I use php and mysql.
I have a problem with the accents when I use php.

Example:
<? $question = "téléphone";
echo $question; ?>

The echo return me weird characters because of the "é". I try to use utf8_encode but it dosen't work can somebody help me!

Thank!

Running on Windows 2000 and PHP 4.0.6 this works fine.

Windows sucks but MacOS sucks worse. Stupid Macs.

Since your output is probably HTML, displayed in a browser window, you can use this wonderful (but sometimes hard-to-spell 😉 function called htmlentities:

<? $question = htmlentities("téléphone");
echo $question; ?>

I always use this when outputting string variables that I do not have complete control over.
