[Techtalk] php help

Sat Jun 1 21:10:44 UTC 2013

Okay, I have figured out that it is indeed something about php within html.
I have made sure all of my files are saved with utf-8 encoding.

Here is the deal. If I take a file and write this in it:

<html>
 <head>
  <title>PHP Test</title>
 </head>
 <body>
 <?php phpinfo() ?>
 </body>
</html>

I get the funny letters. If I take the same file with the same editor,
erase what is in it and write this:

<?php phpinfo() ?>

The funny letters go away, and vise-versa. Any more ideas?

thanks,
maria
