How about this, If the encoding for your files == charset meta tag in html == database encoding
Then you won't get any pr?blems. If you are not using UTF-8 you will get pr?blems with AJAX updates if you use UTF-8 database connection you need to execute "set names 'UTF8'" as your first mysql command Most people miss/don't know that they need to change the encoding for the files themselves. If you get the text "" being output you have BOMs at the beginning of your files which you need to remove Therefore to avoid all pr?blems: Put EVERYTHING as UTF-8 google "set names 'UTF8'" cakephp and put in place a fix* Configure your editor to use UTF-8 charset and don't add BOMs And you don't get any more problems. HTH AD7six * for v1.2 of cake adding "encoding"=>"UTF8" to your database connection parameters takes care of this. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
