Problem with German \"Umlaute\"

[Harald]

Hello

I just integrated your Chat in my forum and everything works finde with one exception.

When the Username contains german umlaute like öäü, they are not correctly displayed at the bottom before the text inputfield. Here an image how it looks:



The website is encoded in ISO-8859-1

In my chat config I have the following lines:

$params['nick'] = iconv("ISO-8859-1", "UTF-8", $user_info['name']);
$params["output_encoding"] = "ISO-8859-1";

I use the latest version in the svn repository.

Can anybody tell me what i am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Harald

Hi,

My Posting is nearly one year old, so perhaps there are some news in the meanwhile?

Hi,

i had the same problem. My solution:

On all pages i am sending the header:

header("Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1");

when i am making sure to send the header:

header("Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8");

on the chat-requests i am fine with the usernames.

For instance:

if ($page == "chat" && !empty($_POST))
{
header("Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8");
}
else
{
header("Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1");
}


so long
