POSTing with UTF-8 encoding

Hi there!

I've been googleing for this for a while now, but I couldn't find any solution.

My problem is simple. I want my HTML forms to be in a way that browsers 'know' that the data being typed into the form has to be sent with the Unicode UTF-8 encoding. So that every piece of data POSTed back to my server is encoded using UTF-8.

I already figured out how to tell the browser that the webpage isself is in UTF-8 (by PHP's header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8");). But I don't know a solution to the problem above.

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance,

Hi
In the HTML page posting . You have applied the utf-8 encoding. Check it by the IE that it has been applied and working.

The browser sends the data in the encoding which has been applied on the page. In this situation html will send data with utf-8 encoding.

Your server must receive the data in UTF-8 encoding. It might be possible your server encoding is other than utf-8.

Check your Data at receiving end of server. and Explain more clearly at which stage you are getting porblem
