Sorry if i am asking a silly question but i really need a solution for it.I am requesting for some data using ajax and the script is
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function loadXMLDoc()
{
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}
$url='http://localhost/path/to/the/php/script';
xmlhttp.open("GET",$url,true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="myDiv"><h2>Let AJAX change this text</h2></div>
<button type="button" onclick="loadXMLDoc()">Change Content</button>
</body>
</html>
and this is my php script
<?php
$sqlurl='/path/to/my/file';
if(file_exists($sqlurl))
{
$sqlitedata= file_get_contents($sqlurl);
echo $sqlitedata;
}
else {
echo 'the file is not available right now';
}
?>
Now the problem is that the data in my file is in the UTF-8 format but when i try to get it through ajax then what i get is a series of question marks (??????) . How can i request for the data through ajax in the same format in which it originally exists.

asuming your file is indeed a xml file, assuming the page making the request is utf8,
then before you echo anything in your php file :
<?php header("Content-Type: application/xml; charset=utf-8"); ?>
for extra safety in your xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
edit you can do that as well :
header('Content-type: text/xml');
with
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
