how to change charset for my page
Permalink 1 user found helpful
In the source code for my page it says:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC"-// W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr">
<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
Where is this defined and how can I change the defined charset for the page?
please, need your help urgently

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can add this to your config/site.php file:
Hi jordanlev,
thanks! I thought maybe for once I´ll find an easy solution but alas
my source code now shows
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC"-// W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr">
<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-2" />
like I wanted but also I get this message across the top of the screen:
Warning: htmlspecialchars() [function.htmlspecialchars]: charset `iso-8859-2' not supported, assuming iso-8859-1 in /home/yxyxyxyx/public_html/concrete/elements/header_required.php on line 29
and the characters I want displayed are still replaced with ?
I´ll go mad soon now

I will have to set up the site in joomla which I hate
but there was no problem at all with special characters
with everything else there was though

It seems that charset definition is not the problem
my other site in website baker shows
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
in source code, and I didn´t have to go messing with sql query at all.
What am I doing wrong?
Some of the special characters are just not displayed.
I event went into html editing and replaced every single ? with č and suchlike

Hi,
I didn't realize you actually needed the chraset of your content to be different -- I thought you were just trying to get that meta tag to output the right value.
If you're having problems with character encodings, you need to make sure that the same encoding is being used in several different places:
1) PHP
2) MySQL Default Charset
3) MySQL Collation
4) Your browser (when editing content on the site)
It's definitely possible, many people have done it before. I would search the forums for "charset" or "character set" or "language" to see some other threads where people have tackled the same issue before.

I think I did all that but it still doesn´t work
