I have tested my website on localhost but once uploaded i see that in the
address is not displayed correctly. The address contains the following errror:
37 Gr�ce Ave
instead of
37 Grâce Ave,
Here there is the beginning of my html page:
<html lang="en-ca">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" name="viewport">On localhost the address $address='37 Grâce Ave,' is displayed correctly.
I have a lot of addresses with these special chars, how can i fix this error?
Save your php file using UTF-8 encoding again, or change the charset to latin-1 (or the one you are currently using) in the head.
To convert a string from one encoding to UTF-8, you can use functions like iconv or mb_convert_encoding.
Explanation: Your current file (or the string) should have been saved using one of the european encoding, the value of
âis greater than 0x7F, in UTF-8 encoding a single character greater than 0x7F is invalid, so it's displayed as an error character.
