Question

I’ve a problem with the utf-8, I’m trying to show russian characters over my page, but I’m getting ???? instead of those russian characters.

I tried to modify .htaccess like AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 but didn’t work.

I also observed that when I try to show characters using .html extension (no php) it works fine, but with the php file is shows ?????.

server details

php 5.3.16
centos release 6.3

I’ve similar problem as here

Answer 1

adding these lines in main php.ini worked for me

default_charset = "utf-8"
mbstring.internal_encoding=utf-8
mbstring.http_output=UTF-8
mbstring.encoding_translation=On
mbstring.func_overload=6
