I'm trying to change my website from windows-1251 to utf-8, but it won't budge.
There are a ton of "solutions" to this on web, but any doesn't seem to be sufficient.
Here is what I did:
I changed the encoding of the index.html (smarty template) and index.php files to UTF-8.
I set
<html lang="ru"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
in index.html
I set
header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
in several places in index.php
I changed
default_charset="UTF-8"
in php.ini and restarted my Apache(XAMPP) server
And still, the Chrome devtools say my page is "Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1251" and I see gibberish instead of Cyrillic in my browser.
What else can I do?
P.S. my index.html looks like this now:
<?php header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="ru">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</head>
<body>
Тест
</body>
</html>
and I open it dirrectly via the browser: http://localhost:8080/index.html
