I must admit this ones are confusing me a lot!
When I load a page which sends:
I get text[FF 3] - both in browser and source code[CTRL+U]:Code:Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1250
But when I retrieve page with PHP's curl and write it to file I get:Code:zagrebačka županija
How come?Code:zagrebaèka županija
And I am so confused, that I even don't know in which charset are my .php files.
Did you create the files in Windows or Mac? In Windows, very few applications give you the choice of what character set you can use. So it is probably ISO-8898-1 if created in Windows. If it was created with a Mac, it would most likely be UTF-8.
Yes, I can see that now.
PHP 5 has no native support of Unicode utf-8
PHP 5 defaults to iso-8859-1 (Latin-1) as well as MySQL
But PHP 6 however will be have default Unicode UTF-8 support.
But still bugs me a case of loaded page in browser and same retrieved with cURL to file.
They are different.
That could be because of the charset of the PHP file retrieving the data.Quote:

In html content:PHP Code://Transform $this->xhtml from default PHP's iso-8859-1 (Latin-1), to utf-8
$this->xhtml = utf8_encode($this->xhtml);
echo $this->xhtml;
And edited php.ini to:HTML Code:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Test Document</title>
</head>.....
PHP works like CGI.Code:default_mimetype = "text/html"
default_charset = "utf-8"
Is this recommended?
All looks fine and kosher to me. Just remember, that even though the file can be saved in a different character set than it's headers or meta tags claim.
For example...You can have a PHP file that has headers claiming to be ISO-8898-1, when the file was saved to hard disk in UTF-8. I have fought with that before.
Oh, those charsets are driving me nuts, really.
And what is worst..., you can't rely on PHP's internal functions to detect charsets of certain string.
It is really like working in a chaos, when it comes to non default charsets.
