Meta Encoding tag

OK I am using vBportal and I ran into this problem.

I got some of my content translated in Greek but to display properly, I need to add the Greek Encoding tag.

Therefore I added
''<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Windows-1253">';
in my P_Home template.

But this is strange. If you visit the PHP page you get some unknown encoding. If I save the page with my browser, upload and view (as .html) it displays fine. Any ideas?

I think you want headinclude, try puting that meta code into the headinclude template

Well, that can't make any difference since the exact same code works in the .html.

The only thing I can think of is that browsers don't pickup the encoding from .php files.

But why?

Your sending the charset as part of the content-type http header.

hdr>HTTP/1.1 200 OK
hdr>Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2002 04:18:23 GMT
hdr>Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1


The content type in the http header takes preferance over any content type specified in the document you need to add

PHP Code:

header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=Windows-1253"); 

to headinclude.
