How to display special characters in PHP

Question

I\'ve seen this asked several times, but not with a good resolution. I have the following string:

$string = \"
Résumé
\";

Answer 1

This works for me:

Create/edit .htaccess file with these lines:

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
AddCharset UTF-8 .php

If you prefer create/edit php.ini:

default_charset = "utf-8"
