Special characters

Submitted by matthieu on Sat, 2007-01-06 18:01 in

Hello,

I have got problems with special characters like é, è, or à.

In config.php, I tried :
$config_charset = "utf-8"; -> the characters are in chinese.
$config_charset = "iso-8859-1"; -> the characters don't appear (in text and in URL).
$config_charset = ""; -> It is the same as with "iso-8859-1".

How I can I solve this problem ?

Thanks.

Hi,

One thing you can do to work out the correct character set is to use your browsers "View > Character Encoding" menu to select different character sets until the characters are displayed correctly.

You can then set that character set in your config.php. If this doesn't help, feel free to email me a link to the feed on your site, for example:

http://www.yoursite.com/feeds/merchant.xml

...and i'll download it to my test server and take a look for you.

Cheers,
David.
