Issues of UTF-8 Encode Keyword

|
| By Webner
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

<?php echo utf8_decode("selecciona una categoría");?>

Above two lines are used to decode the special characters properly. We use the meta tag in section of the page to decode the whole page and second line of PHP code is used to decode a specific text value. But if you use both of above in same php/html page it will not work. It may work on localhost but will not work on server.

Instead of using “utf8_decode” at every page, you can use:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

In the beginning of page, it will resolve all the issues and properly encoded values will be submitted to the server.
