Re: [GENERAL] browser shows garbage instead of UTF-8 characters

Sadm,

what is the encoding setting of your database driver?

What happens if you put out the retrieved Data to a console or a debug window?

Have you analyzed the garbage, what is it? Escaped Characters? Hungarian? Arabian? Chinese??

How do you "fetch a record", how do you output it to "THE" "Web browser"? What are your HTML Headers? Which HTML / XHTML do you use?

Hello!
I have a PostgreSQL database with UTF-8 encoding. It stores russian characters.
When I fetch a record from this database and output it to the web browser as html page, it
looks like a garbage instead of normal russian characters. I'm using html with <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">.

Please help me to find a mistake.
Thanks in advance.
