I'm having a strange issue with loaded views in Codeigniter 3.0.1. I'm trying to display Spanish characters within my application. I have set these settings below to get Spanish displaying properly in the initial view loaded from my controller.
This is set in the main index.php of codeigniter.
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
I also have set this on the top of my HTML page mark up.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
So Spanish characters in the main HTML page is displaying properly. The problem is when I try to load another view inside the main HTML file.
<html>
<body>
spanish here //displays properly
<?php $this->load->view("page/somepage"); //Spanish in view does not format properly ?>
</body>
</html>
Any Spanish characters loaded inside this view is not formatting properly. Anybody know a work around?
