Charsets
I must admit this ones are confusing me a lot!
When I load a page which sends:
Code:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1250
I get text[FF 3] - both in browser and source code[CTRL+U]:
Code:
zagrebačka županija
But when I retrieve page with PHP's curl and write it to file I get:
Code:
zagrebaèka županija
How come?
And I am so confused, that I even don't know in which charset are my .php files.

Re: Charsets
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.
If the post was helpful...Rate it! Remember to use [code] or [php] tags.

Re: Charsets
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.

Re: Charsets
Ok, just to say this.
I 've edited my object which generates valid XHTML code, in a way, that just one line before html output, it converts it from iso-8859-1 (Latin-1) to Unicode utf-8 for web browsers.
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;
In html content:
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>.....
And edited php.ini to:
Code:
default_mimetype = "text/html"
default_charset = "utf-8"
PHP works like CGI.
Is this recommended?

Re: Charsets
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.

Re: Charsets
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.
