Hey,
When I am writing an HTML Document, how do i know what character encoding I am using. Is Times New Roman have a specific character encoding or can it be found on my host server?
What do you think is the best type of encoding?
Thanks for any help that can be given

There is a difference between encoding and font. Times New Roman is a font. There is no way to guarantee which font will display in a client's browser because it depends on which browser and OS they are using. Plus, they can set their browser to use a specific one.
However, you can specify your preferred font in css using 'font-family'.

Hi , Encoding is related to the Language In which you wants to write and display. Times new Roman is the font and it is not related with the encoding.
At present ISO-8859-1 , UTF-8 , etc encoding is in use.
You should write the ecnoding in the meta tags of the Header section of the HTML page. The Example is as follows. -
<META http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1'>

Hey,
Thanx to both replies, sorry about the hold up. I've been busy.
The second reply was what I was really looking for. I was looking for the charset that my text file should be encoded to when be assced by a browser.
So I guess i should used utf-8!!!
Big Thank you to both replies though!!!
I found a really good website about character encoding right here...
Looking over the html specifications promted me to look over character encoding in the first place.

problem: pasting characters from MSWord into wysiwyg editor (tinyMCE)
When we paste text from Word (i.e. MSWindows) to the browser, and in
the text is any special character, like smart quotes, but also accented
letters, they show up incorrectly.
What we see is e.g.

turtle species are Â"endangeredÂ" or Â"critically endangeredÂ"

Hello
Is there a function that will allow me to
output text written in utf-8 (from db for example)
if my document has
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
I mean htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() will only convert
characters that have an associated entity defined in HTML.

When I want to clear memory space this is what I typically do myself,

Now with the function memset I could do the same thing and it would be
portable. But would it always work?
