PHP - accented characters
Hi,
I have many problems with accented characters.
When i list the API, all is ok and when I import datas on my php page , accented characters are missing.
However my pages are encoded with utf-8.
What's wrong ?
Thanks for the help
Michel

Maybe this link will help.

You didn't understood my question. I wrote "characters are missing". How can you handle a letter that doesn't existing ? For the overviews in french, accentued letters are totally missing (they are not only unaccentued). For the url of the API, i used the parameter "language=fr-FR" mais for example for the word "année", the word displayed by the api is not "annee" but "anne" (the "é" letter disappeared)

When you say in your first text

When i list the API, all is ok and when...

I understand that the data received from our server is correct.
All accented letters are there. Am I right ?

If I'm right then the problem is in PHP.
In this case, it is better to ask someone who knows the language for help.

The datas are there when i load the api address in my browser. When i recover the datas in my foreach loop accented letters are not there (these letters are absent). As I told you as example for the word 'année' (which mean year), I don't receive année, i don't receive annee but anne (the letter is totally removed)

So the TMDb server is sending the correct data.

That's why I suggested looking for help at https://stackoverflow.com/tags/themoviedb-api
We don't have the expertise to help in all programming languages.

After thinking, it comes from my php loop maybe. A developer suggested me to use of a regular expression. I sent him a message to know. Sorry if it comes from that
