Foreign Characters in PHP
I'm currently working on a website that can convert words from English to
French and vice versa. My problem is this: every time I try to output a character like é, it comes out as either a box (in IE) or as a question-mark in a diamond (in FF). To get around this, I use the function: str_replace("é", "é", $french);. This grabs all accented characters and converts them into HTML characters. While I can do this, is there anyway to make sure these characters stay the same and do not need to be replaced? Matt
