I have installated an indexibit page, but every time I want to add some spanish text on it, the spanish words with different characters as accents or Ñ won´t appear, and instead of them appears some weird code.

I don´t have a clue about programming, and I´ve tried to read all forums, but I simply don´t know what to do. Can you tell me where should I read to solve this, or what should I do?
Thank´s very very much!

...in the Useful threads post in the top of the forum, there's two links under Why do accented characters not show up?. Check them out.

Actually, I think those links are not so good (my fault)...I think we need to revise them. Let us know if it doesn't help...

Acctually I research lot more in the forum, is an error in the DB. And as we don´t have a clue on editing DB we reach at the forum some solutions that did work out and solve the problem.
This code was really helpfull!!!

1. // put this 'header' line just before the $PARSE line
2. header("Content-type:text/html; charset=utf-8");
3. $PARSE =& load_class('parse', TRUE, 'lib');

Thanks a lot!!!

That can work...but you should dig into your database directly with PHPMyAdmin and make sure that the db, all tables and all columns are UTF8...instead of Latin1.

But if it's working for you already...that's great.
