Special characters in product name and description

Submitted by Al on Wed, 2008-02-13 10:27 in

I have searched the forum, but cannot find the answer...

Words with special characters are not displayed correctly (tested IE7 and Firefox 2).

é is diplayed as é

- is diplayed as A (with a small roof on it ;-) and after that a square ...

in my config.php file: $config_charset = "utf-8";

I looked in phpadmin. Really do not know if it is important, but there I find that the database is: latin1_swedish_ci

Please be specific in your help, as I am not an advanced programmer...

With regards,

Al

Hello Al,

It just sounds like your site is in the wrong character set. In config.php, change it to:

  $config_charset = "iso-8859-1";

Cheers,
David.
