Don't know, let me check.

 

Which server are you on?

[japapa]

my server is johnny.heliohost.org

i hope its under DDoS attack

The problem was that you have a U+EFFF character at the top of your file. It's invisible to most editors, but it signifies UTF-16 encoding and the PHP parser might have caught it and turned off UTF-8. It's known as the byte order mark.

 

I copied your tes.html into test2.php and removed the byte order mark and it seems to work now.

[japapa]

ok.but how i can remove this U+EFFF charachter?

[japapa]

file test2.php that you make shows question mark too

farachat.tk/test2.php

Try opening the file in notepad and saving as UTF-8.

[bdistler]

what text editor are you using ?

 

if it is notepad you need to

==>

GO TO NOTEPAD, IN SETTINGS->PREFERENCES->New Document/Default Directory-> (Select UTF-8 without BOM and select apply to opened ANSI files)

<==

i change my php editor and know i dont have problem

thank from all of you.

I love heliohost
