Thread: PostgreSQL encoding
Hello, am new to pgsql and i have some problem with encoding and charsets, i can view my data over pgadmin3 without any problem (i have some frensh data with accents 'é,à,ç,è') and on my php application the accet characters doesnt work, how to resolve that
I solved my problems with charsets in this way:
1. Before composing the HTML page send the header, in this way:
header("Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8");
2. Put in HTML page the following:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html"; charset="utf-8">
that's all.
there's no 'standard' way to do that ?
and if i got arabic content or chinese one, i should change headers again ?
