I'm posting ($_POST[]) data from page A and try to output it on page B, however something isn't working with UTF8.
The data on page B is (I believe) not in UTF8, for example é becomes ?. If I use utf8_encode on page B it's all fine again.
The tricky part is that mb_detect_encoding() does return UTF-8on page B for the data from POST
So on page A I have all headers set to UTF8
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8");
<meta charset="utf-8">
And after my mysql connection
mysqli_set_charset($mysqli, "utf8");
The form on page A has
accept-charset="UTF-8"
and page B is loaded with Ajax and has also the header on
Am I missing something? Or should I always use utf8_encode() on data from POST ?
You can add the code accept-charset="UTF-8" in Config page itself. So it will be used in all pages as you need that.
To pass data from page A to B, do you use json_encode ? This function is exclusively used for data encoded into utf-8
