I have a problem with the charset in my php page... firstly the whole site included .html and .php didn't automaticly get the right charset i put in the meta content so I added a .htaccess file CODE AddDefaultCharset Big5 then it works fine with the .html file extension... but not my php file... so i added another line in .htaccess file CODE AddCharset Big5 .php but still not working... there is something i wondering... coz my link to the php file is "foo.php?A=B" would that be the problem that the .htaccess file dun see it as a normal .php? Plz help this is annoying me for the whole day...

Strange, it looks like you've done the right thing with AddCharset, but since it isn't working perhaps you can add:
AddType 'text/html; charset=Big5' php
to your .htaccess file instead?


Another solution would be to set the following at the beginning of your php documents:

It's important that you do that before sending anything to the client (before any content).

And make sure that you don't have something like: "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">" in the head of your html. THat might screw things up as well.
