Hi, I want to use the guestbook on a norwegian website, but the letters ø, æ and å are not supported.
When someone writes them in a comment, it looks crazy.

Can this be fixed?

Hi,

Open gbook.php in a plain text editor, like Notepad or Wordpad and use the search function to find and then just change that to the Charset you are using, for example to

Hi,
I would like to save the entries.txt in unicode encoding to include more characters. I tried changing gbook.php to include iso-8859-1 but it doesn't work.
When I save in unicode encoding the guestbook appears distorted and messed up.
The characters I would like to include are the accented n, m, s, r in Tahoma font.
Thanks for your help!

Hello,
i have changed to the charset i am using. But when I open web page in browser it does not use my charset. What is the way out?

In your browser go to "View" > "Encoding" and make sure "Auto-select" is checked.

If that doesn't work post the URL of your gbook here.

Yes it is "auto-select" and it select "turkish (windows)" but i have in the script windows-1251. i will try to reinstall and then give URL

url of my test guestbook is http://www.online-ul.com/gbook/
I am translating words from english to russian right in the script. may be i should create language file?

It sets the correct encoding for me (cyrillic - Windows)

don't know what is the glitch. if i will have a chance i will try from other pc.
