Encoding issue with Apache , displaying diamond characters in browser

Request you all to help me set up Apache server on Cent OS. It looks like some encoding issue, but I am not able to resolve it yet.

• Instead of HTML content it displays HTML source in (chrome,firefox), IE 9 works fine. It displays � character after each "<" symbol. http://pdf.gen.in/index1.htm

• Second Problem is with PHP. It displays source code of PHP http://pdf.gen.in/index.php with similar diamond characters, wherever it encounters a "<" character. It se开发者_运维技巧ems like php issue is related to the first issue.

Those files are encoded with UTF-16LE. For the static HTML page, you might be able to get it to work by setting the charset correctly in the MIME type (it's currently text/html; charset=UTF-8). I don't know how strong PHP's Unicode support is. Try using UTF-8 instead, it's generally more well supported due to its partial overlap with ASCII.

You should use a decent text editor, and always set encoding of php/html to "UTF-8 without BOM".

Create a file named "test.php", paste below codes and save with "UTF-8 without BOM" encoding, then it will work just fine.

<?php
phpinfo();
?>
