I have created a file and saved it as UTF-8I placed this code:\[code\]<div class="top_pic"> <img src="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1987508/<?php echo $this->images_dir ?>image.jpg" alt="doc ao fim do dia" width="632" height="320"/></div><div id="conteudo_menu"> <?php echo $this->conteudo_menu ?></div><div id="item_list"> <?php echo $this->vinhos_lista ?></div>\[/code\]I save and reopen and it's iso-8859-1. I have tried modifying it using notepad++ and dreamweaver. Always the same result. This is messing up the page, because the page presents strings in utf-8. Please!! Someone help me!!EDIT:I finally fixed this. I used mb_convert_encoding to force everything to be utf8.Thanks for all the help!
