If you're on *nix:
man iconv
otherwise, I have no idea, sorry.

No it was not. If I save it with UFT8 encoding it works well.
So, do I have to convert all the files to UTF8 encoding?
Is there an easy way to do that?

Is the file saved in UTF-8 encoding (the PHP script itself)?

????????????????????
öüéööööéééÉõõÕÕúúúú
I tried all the ways:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
and
<?php header('Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8');?>
etc.
The first echo... is not showed correctly.
The second (with the encoding function) works well.
In php.ini the default encoding is UFT-8. The webserver sends the
correct
encoding.
By default the browser(tested on IE and firefox) sees as UFT-8
encoding for
the page. If I output the string with utf8_encode function than it wroks
well. But... it this the solution??? I don't want to modify the whole
project.

Check the HEADERS your web-server is sending.
If they don't have Charset UTF-8 in there, it won't work on REAL
browsers (Mozilla based)
Then, for reasons known only to Microsoft, you have to use a META tag
to define the Charset for IE.
MS will *ignore* the headers in favor of a heuristic whereby they
count the number of characters in any given document which do/don't
fit into various common charsets, and then they choose the charset
based on that.
Apparently, MS assumes that web-designers who can only handle META
tags are smarter than developers who use header() function. Go
figure. :-^

Hi to all,
We are developing a multilanguage application, and slowly it seems
that the Latin1(ISO 5589 1) encoding is not enough.
I tried simply to convert the database and the encoding of the php to
UTF-8, but I'm getting some problems.
If I make an echo 'möbel, Belgien' the browser does not show me the
correct character. If I look in the source of the document the
character is good. Default encoding of the browser is UTF-8. If I
change manually the browser encoding then the chars are showed
correclty.
We have a lot of "defines" with fix texts, which are full with german
and french characters. Any of these aren't shower correctly.
What is the workaround for this?
Best regards,
Andy.
