utf8?

which is the right place to send a header in a yii-app?




header('content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');



Usually it is authomatically generated in layout/main.

Take also a look at this article

It’s only added automatically if you configure your webserver (Apache) with AddDefaultCharset UTF-8. If you can’t do that for some reason, i’d either put it into index.php (for simplicitys sake), into the init() method in protected/Controller.php, or any action, where you need to set it, if it’s not required for all actions.

as long as there are no conflicts, i put it in index.php

default charset is iso-8859-1, its not possible to overwrite via htaccess

hello geeks…

I also been searching solution for utf8. and finally solved… here the solution…

[font="Arial Black"]open protected/config/main.php and save it as UTF8 without BOM (and BOM!!!!!) it is ready.[/font]

they said that yii’s default charset is utf8… so I figure out this from my previous experiences…

if there is still problem… then open all *.php files and save them in [font="Arial Black"]UTF8 without BOM[/font]

that will solve the problem…

You can put it on config/main.php too, since it’s included in index.php, and then if you have a problem you can figure it out.

Anyway, I thought that the ‘charset’=>‘utf-8’, would do the trick but no.
