Hello tompa5

I think this is related to the charset that is used by the page.
In your normal pages you use iso-8859-1.
GBook uses windows-1250

Try the following:

Find this line in the gbook.php files (line 840 in version 1.41)

Code: Select all

<meta content="text/html; charset=windows-1250">

and change it to this

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">

Greetings,
Henrie

I´ve updated teh guestbook to 1.43 and the linguaprob appears again...

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">

but the letter å doesnt appear, it gets replaced by a ĺ.... what to do?

In IE it looks fine but in FF it looks like that...

Hello tompa5,

I have looked at the page at this link http://www.tompa5.com/tompa/gb/gbook.php and indeed the å is displayed as ĺ in Firefox (and not in Internet Explorer).

I looked at the source code and saw that the charset is

Code: Select all

<meta content="text/html; charset=windows-1250">

and not

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">

Perhaps this could be the problem?

Greetings,
Henrie

Hi,

Can you try this and let me know if it helps?

Open gbook.php and change line 918 from

Code: Select all

$in = htmlspecialchars($in);

to

Code: Select all

$in = htmlspecialchars($in);
$in = preg_replace('/&(\#[0-9]+;)/','&$1',$in);

Won't have any effect on the old posts, but see if new ones work with that letter.

Regards
