Do I need to set ini_set( 'default_charset', 'UTF-8' );?

Question

My framework for each pages does the follow:

ini_set(\'mbstring.internal_encoding\',\'UTF-8\');
ini_set(\'mbstring.func_overload\',7);
header(\'Content-Type:         


        

Answer 1

default_charset ini setting should work for you. PHP always outputs a character encoding by default in the Content-type: header using this setting
