Eclipse, charset and PHP

[Marko]

Hello,

I'm trying to internationaliz e my PHP code, but some of the ISO-8859-2
characters don't show in the browser. I'm namely trying to use Croatian and
Russian, and some of the characters show and most don't. I did the header
(that's the one for Croatian)

header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-2");

but it doesn't work. When I type my strings in Eclipse it is all fine and I
see all the characters that I want. Is it maybe an Eclipse setting I need to
worry about? What am I missing? It is not the browser, as I can see all the
Croatian/Russian pages just fine. Server maybe?

Thanks,

Marko

Please define "doesn't work" - this is not a helpful description.

There are many different sorts of "not workingness"; describe what happens and
how it differs from what you expected.

You suggest blaming the server, but you haven't said which one it is. As far
as I know, Apache doesn't involve itself in character set conversions, so if
you're using that it's unlikely to be the server. Might not apply if you're
using another server.

I'm not familiar with Eclipse other than having heard what it is, so can't
comment on what encoding it is using. I wouldn't be surprised if it is using
UTF-8 though. But more information is definitely required.

Ecipse is java. Strings are internally handled as UCS-2. Files are
handled according to the file.encoding (or something like that)
property, transaltion can go wrong here. The OP shoiuld take a decent
editor an fidn out hwat is stored in the file itself.

Window->Preferences->Workbench->Editors-> Text file encoding.
