Does anyone can tell mi what I'm doing wrong?
Richard Lynch on the PHP general mailing list gave a response to a
question very similar to yours... I'll just copy and paste it for your
information:
"Check the HEADERS your web-server is sending.
If they don't have Charset UTF-8 in there, it won't work on REAL
browsers (Mozilla based)
Then, for reasons known only to Microsoft, you have to use a META tag
to define the Charset for IE.
MS will *ignore* the headers in favor of a heuristic whereby they
count the number of characters in any given document which do/don't
fit into various common charsets, and then they choose the charset
based on that.
Apparently, MS assumes that web-designers who can only handle META
tags are smarter than developers who use header() function. Go
figure. :-^ "
