My Question:
------------
Is PHP UTF-8 ready?
Is there an other reason to stick on iso-8859-1 or ascii beside the BOM?
Is it a PHP bug, or is it a bug of the editor software?
My opinion is that it is basically a code problem. You have data before
the "<?php" (the BOM), and PHP is outputting it as such. How is PHP
supposed to know that you didn't intend to ouput a BOM? It could be an
intentional thing, e.g. output of a UTF-8 text file:
<?php
header('Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8');
include('file-with-BOM.php');
In your case, it is an unwanted side-effect. The answer, I believe,
should be to educate your student about the BOM and recommend the use of
an editor that is a little smarter about UTF-8 output. When I use
Windows (which is rarely), I use Notepad++, which gives you the option
to save files as UTF-8 with or without the BOM.
