[Phpwiki-talk] special characters/umlaute/accents

[Scheider, H. <Hen...@wi...>]

Dear users and team,

I am having trouble with a special character in my page sources: the Euro
currency sign, though directly input as character in the edit form (my
keyboard has it as key), is converted to € in the page source (with
the ampersand then escaped as entity for output).

I found some ancient discussion on the accent/umlaut issue on the list

here http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=3872323

and here http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=494295

but don't know the actual state. At least German umlaute and Roman language
accents work fine even as wiki links (url_encoded in the URL, but unescaped
for output). Furthermore I am totally inexperienced in the field of charset
encodings.


I am using php 4.3.10 on apache 1.3.33 and mysql 4.1

with
extension=php_mbstring.dll

turned on in PHP.


Thanks for your help,

Hendrik Scheider
