I have a client that need a site with german language. German has character like äß and others. But when i use PHP, it can't show up. I have to change it to html ascii like äß So, when people view source this site, it will show äß, and not äß i have tried to use html_entity_decode to convert äß to äß. it works fine at my local server. But when i upload to my server, it fail. The tag for äß can't conver to äß. Can any one help me please for this case? Or is there a simple way to use german character at my web with PHP file? Thanks
