Question

This is running on Windows Server 2008 R2

MySQL (phpmyadmin) shows

Server: localhost via TCP/IP
Server version: 5.5.18
Protocol version: 10
User: -
MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) 

MySQL connection collation: utf8_general_ci

This is running on XAMPP in Windows 7

MySQL (phpmyadmin) shows

Server: localhost via TCP/IP
Server version: 5.1.53-community-log
Protocol version: 10
User: -
MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)

MySQL connection collation: utf8_general_ci

MySQL charset show UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) MySQL connection collation is utf8_general_ci and the table Collaion is set to utf8_general_ci and in my index.php I’ve set:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf8_general_ci"/>

When I go to localhost/index.php on my Windows 7 machine is shows plús
When I go to http://www.domain.com/index.php which runs from Windows Server 2008 R2 it shows plús

Both have the same index.php.

I’ve followed this tutorial to set my MySQL for Windows Server: WEBSITE

So why does this happen? So far I Know everything is set OK.

Thanks,

utf8_general_ci is not a registered charset for use in HTTP.

Use only UTF-8 in <meta>

Use only UTF-8 in <meta>
