phpMyEdit is used across the whole world by many users of various nationalities
speaking and writing several different languages. The most common problem
that occured for people located in the east, central or north Europe, Asia
and other countries is, that phpMyEdit does not handle their national
language characters correctly.
The reason for this is very simple. In order to simplify phpMyEdit integration
into larger production systems, the generated code does not contain by default
any HTML header or footer. But even if the HTML header and footer is turned
on, the generated META tags do not contain any entry defining the proper type
of content and character set. It's up to you to send this kind information
with the served page. You can do this using HTTP protocol headers or HTML META
tags.
Below are two examples how to define an iso-8859-2
character set for the HTML page. This charset is most suitable for countries
in central Europe, such as Slovakia, Czech republic, Poland, and so on.
For your country you will certainly need to determine the appropriate
character set.
Example 6-1. Charset defined with META tag <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-2">
Example 6-2. Charset defined with HTTP header <?php
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-2');
?>
