Hello,
I have a problem displaying frensh data :
my client encoding is set to UNICODE (same as phpPgAdmin)
when selecting data with phpPgAdmin, there's no errors displaying
accents and other special frensh caracters.
but when selecting from my own script i dont get those frensh caracters.
in my html pages i do :
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
like phpPgAdmin and there is allways problems displaying frensh data...
anyone can help ?

Well, you can try sending an http header as well, before ANY of your
script's output:

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');

Alternatively, try setting the client encoding to unicode with an sql
statement before running any queries, however that should not be
necessary as client encoding defaults to server encoding.

BTW, have a look at the printHeader() method in classes/Misc.php in
phpPgAdmin to see how we do it.

in phppgadmin, the statement
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');

[root@apps pgadmin]# grep -r "header(" *
dataexport.php:                                 header("Location: {$url}");
dataexport.php:                                 header("Location: {$url}");
dataexport.php:                                 header("Location: {$url}");
dataexport.php:                         header('Content-Type: text/plain');
dataexport.php:                         header('Content-Type:
application/download');
dataexport.php:                         header('Content-Disposition:
attachment; filename=dump.' . $ext);
dataexport.php:                 header('Content-Type: text/plain');
dbexport.php:                           header('Content-Type: text/plain');
dbexport.php:                                   header('Content-Type:
text/plain');
dbexport.php:                                   header('Content-Type:
application/download');
dbexport.php:
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=dump.sql');
dbexport.php:                           header('Content-Type:
application/download');
dbexport.php:                           header('Content-Disposition:
attachment; filename=dump.sql.gz');
help.php:                               header("Location: $url");
logout.php:header('Location: index.php');

in classes/Misc.php
there's
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
charset={$lang['appcharset']}\" />\n";

wich result in <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=UTF-8" />
same as i did ...

there's another thing that can be helpfull tracking my problem.
when getting data well formed in my explorer from phppgadmin and then
saving it to my hard disk and displaying it from its local location i
get the same problems.
and the line :
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
exists !

Right, we don't set it. Usually Apache does if not told otherwise.

What do you get from your own script? Best make a screenshot.

Maybe you could send us the code that retrieves the data from PostgreSQL.

I personally use 'pg_set_client_encoding($link, 'UNICODE');' before I
get data from server to be sure I get it in utf-8 encoding. Other thing
that might be a problem is that default Apache configuration file
contains 'AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1' instruction which sets default
charset in case the Apache cannot find one in the page. Disabling this
makes characters unmangled (it may and probably should by solved other
way but I didn't spend my time on figuring how).
