I’m using PHP include to include a PHP file that has HTML in it.

  • 0

I’m using PHP include to include a PHP file that has HTML in it. some of the content has french accents and these show up as � on the site. How can this be solved?

Thanks

Here is the PHP file I include:

    That happens if the browser thinks your using another encoding than you actually use.

    try to add the following in your php file before any html is printed:

    header ('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
// or
header ('Content-type: text/html; charset=iso8859-15');

    and add

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<!-- or -->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO8859-15" />

    between the <head></head> tags

    UPDATE: just saw your update with the file. you need to add header ('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
