Encoding problem (Russian language)

Hi. I have a problem with russian letters, they do not display properly.

I know this problem had been discussed before, but i changed every possible parameter in the database to 'utf8_general_ci' . It didn't work. Is there any way to fix it? Thank you.

After you change database, table and column settings (all of them) then you need to reinput the text.

What has happened is that it's become double encoded and will never work. Try reinputting some correct characters and see how it works then.

Tried it. Still doesn't work. Automatic encoding in browser remains 'windows-1251'.

It appears that your server is overrding the encoding declaration in the page...I'm not sure why some webhosts do this...but it's a problem beyond Indexhibit...

W3C Validation

I believe that you can add your own header to the index.php file of your site to deal with this...before the parsing rules at the bottom add this...

  1. header ('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

Maybe you will need to add this to the /ndxz-studio/index.php file as well (near the top)...but I'm not sure about that one...

I have the same problem, I just installed inexhibit on a local mamp server in chinese, the oringinal database is latin1_swedish_ci, but the web page has been set into utf-8 automaticaly. All chinese charactors shows like '???????'. I do change them collation with 'utf8_general_ci, but nothing happenned....

Re-input them too.

I can't get it to work either. I wondering if maybe I've missed to change somewhere in the database? I've changed for every table and for three rows in the "iptotable" table. Is there somewhere else I should change?

This thread has been closed, thank you.
