Menu
I am trying to display this German character the proper way, if I don't use htmlentities() the output is unabh�ngig, but when I try to use htmlentities() the word is missing, why is that?
<?php
$str = htmlentities("unabhängig");
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<meta charset='utf-8'>
</head>
<body>
</body>
<div><?php echo $str;?></div>

I had the same problem with the ü, ä, etc.
Right after selecting the database I implemented this two lines:
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET 'utf8'");
as suggested here: http://www.flashhilfe.de/forum/serverseitige-programmierung/php-mysql-wie-utf-8-beim-connect-festlegen-225225-225225.html
Best, Yannis
