Re: how to tell php to set into Utf-8?

As of PHP 5 I dont think there is anyway to do this. PHP 6 is supposed to have better support for UTF-8.

What you can try doing, is everywhere you output to the page, encode it to UTF-8 using uft8encode(). And in the actual HTML markup, use html escape sequences for special characters &#xxx;

Hope this helps.
