If that encoding is not capable of showing the characters, then obviously they will not be shown. In general I would use UTF-8 encoding for all pages, considering the international nature of the web, this allows for any characters you might want to show. Another method is to output all of your text using htmlentities() to convert characters into their entity form (e.g. & for ampersand, á for a with acute accent, etc.) You can combine both methods also. Further information on this is in the PHP documentation. Niel -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
