Weird Symbols Can't Post
I'm getting weird symbols  “ instead of spaces and quotes in some of my pages generated through CMS Builder... I've tried re-importing my text in CMS Builder but I keep getting the same problem. Examples: http://www.dustindrorbaugh.com/html/news_and_articles.php Just click on any article to see what I mean.

Any ideas?

Hi Dustitn,

The normal character set that's used by CMS Builder and generated by the code generator is uft-8

At the top of the page
Code
<?php header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); ?>
and in the head section
Code
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />

You page is using ISO 8869-1
Code
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

Try changing that and your page should display correctly.

Best,

Jerry Kornbluth
