encoding issue

Question

I\'m developing a website using PHP and these strange chars \"\" appears in my page, right on the top of it. My code is this:

Answer 1

If you want to use iso-8859-1, you need to save your PHP file as iso-8859-1.
For detailed instructions, please tell us which editor you're using.

However, I highly recommend that you use UTF8 instead.

Answer 2

That's a BOM character, which is there because the source code files are saved as UTF-8 BOM. Try to save them as UTF-8 no-BOM (or whatever your editor calls it) or indeed ISO-8859-1 if you must use it (...why would you?).

Answer 3

Look at the "Page Info" screen and see what character set the browser thinks you're in. The odds are that your web server is forcing UTF-8 with its Content-Type header, which trumps the meta tag.

Answer 4

simple solution, just placed your html/php code is start from first line, I am just do that to resolve these problem, and it's work.
