Question

I’m extracting database data width jquery to build site content. The problem is: my hungarian characters get lost on the way from the server to the client. For example: “kosárlabda” becomes “Kos�rlabda” etc…

Setting the response headers with php doesn’t help (nor ISO-8859-2, nor UTF-8).
I have <?php header('charset=ISO-8859-2'); ?> on the top of my called files.

This is the method I use to load the data:

function load(type,values) {
    $.get(type+".php", function(data) {
        $("#data").html(data);
    });
}

Thanks in advance.

I solved my problem:

All I needed was:

• putting mysql_query("SET NAMES UTF-8"); and mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET 'utf8'"); into all php files
• adding an AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 to the .htaccess file.
