Good morning InterAkt support,

I've been having for months some problem with character encoding when reading RSS fees (spanish languge). 

I read all the news feed from within the same page import.php using a jump menu and the strange thing is some feeds are read perfect, but others no. For example when I read the Google and Yahoo feeds they come with altered character encoding. You can see the problem LIVE here.

In this post Ionut wrote me : "You need to set the charset of your page holding the RSS Reader to "utf8"."

But is set to "UTF-8" and it does not work, here is the encoding code of import.php

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" c />


I noticed that the indexm.php page wich contains the server side include, is set to :

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" c />

If I change this iso-8859-1 to utf-8 in de index page all spanish character in my page are changed by "�" this character, except Google and Yahoo feeds wich are shown perfectly.  You can see and screenshoot here.  all other feeds are shown incorrectly.

I attache here the import.php file, just you take a look and tell me where the problem is.

Thanks a lot in advance for yuor help.

Best regards

Fer.

Hello,

This happends because the feeds are encoded using UTF-8, while your content is encoded using ISO-8859-1. To solve this you have 2 possibilities: you either change your content to be encoded in UTF-8, or you try to see if there are any feeds from those sites that are ISO-8859-1 encoded (possibly by passing an extra parameter).

Hello,

First all your pages must have the charset set to UTF-8, and your data stored inside the database must be in UTF-8. To make sure that your data is inserted correctly as UTF-8, you must make sure that the charset of the insert pages is set to UTF-8.
