My browsers never use Unicode (UTF-8)
« on: November 24, 2005, 05:59:06 pm »

If I look at the html source code of http://sardinien.sa.funpic.de/galerie/index.php  I can see the tag
Code: [Select]
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />But my browsers (both Firefox 1.0.7 and Internet Explorer 6 SP2) use the Western ISO-8859-1 coding even if I set the Firefox defaults to Unicode.
So I always see ß, ä and so on instead of ß, ä ...
But e.g. Wikipedia and the new demo at http://coppermine-gallery.net/Obsolete are displayed correctly in Unicode.
Why cpg not? (I just installed the newest version 1.4.2)


Greetz and thx

may be related to the pop-up ad that your webhost adds - it keeps the page from being valid.

doesn't matter, the pop-up ruins the html ouput, no matter where this is being hosted. There mustn't be any html output after </html>. Attached is the output your page creates.

Code: [Select]
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html dir="ltr">
<head>

This ist what my output - without any changes to the template...

(and there is no output after the </html>)

the pop-up may not be visible for you, but it is for others. This is something funpic.de does. The "funny" chars at the start come from a BOM - did you edit your language file?

Sorry, but again: I'm running coppermine on my own server - no funpic! And what is "BOM"? (No, I did no changes to the language file)

Look, you can take my word on it that your page looks different to you than it looks to others - did you never ask yourself why funpic.de is giving you a subdomain for free? I attached a screenshot how your site looks for me. If you don't believe me, go to another PC and view your gallery there.

ah ok, sorry. Guess this comes from thread hijacking. Seems like you haven't actually posted a link to your site so far. Do so now.

Yeah, I always see my popup  :(
But they didn't have one in the older days ...
So maybe I have to translate the Language file to ISO or change my hoster   ??? :-\\
But thanks for your help.

put this:

<?php header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8"); ?>

into your "custom header" file

it helps

Yeah, thanks a lot, it really works!
So, GauGau, you should include this into the great CPG!
