Problem with umlauts and UTF-8

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hello every1,

I'm creating my own little CMS at the moment and got some problems with the charset. I decided to use UTF-8 so that I don't have to switch between charsets when using different languages.

When I look at the page now, there are, however, ? instead of SOME of the umlauts. All the afftected ones come either from the database or aren't in the main template but an included one.

Before the page is being displayed by the Smarty Template system the CMS sends a header with the charset UTF-8. The templates contain the attribut encoding="UTF-8" as well. Then I set all the database charsets in phpmyadmin to UTF-8-general-ci but it still doesnt't work.

Can the problem be that the php files themselves are saved in the ANSI format?! Which one do I have to choose instead? Notepad offers Unicode, Unicode big endian and UTF-8.

Thanks for your help
