Dear StackOverflow Community,
I am running Codeigniter.
I have a few simple pages which have no DB data, are just static loaded as following from the controller. I have set everything possible to UTF-8 - I have checked headers which result to UTF8 - however it still parses wrong (these characters: ���).
function index(){
$this->load->view('french/header_view');
$this->load->view('french/homepage_view');
$this->load->view('french/footer_view');
}
Part of my config file:
$config['charset'] = "UTF-8";
Part of my header view file:
<? header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8"); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html >
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
....
Characters used in body (which is a body view file):
géniales - à - époustouflant
Characters get shown as (also in html source):
� se g�niales !
Where have I gone wrong?
All the best,
Ice
