Hi,

I am trying to sign off a website but have one final obstacle to overcome and then all good.

the problem I have is I have private chat on a dating website.

the site is in russian and english.

the php page for the chat needs headers so that it can recognise the russian charset.

if i have no header in the php page then the chat works fine but with silly characters instead of russian text.

If i add the headers required the chat does not work.

But if I get the chat working then edit the php page adding the headers and then upload that page, the chat works with russian characters.

I tried adding an if statement to push the headers if a message was sent but to no avail.

any help would be fantastic.

I can add the code if required but theres reams of it to go through

many thanks in advance
Barry

the returned message is sent back from the php page in the section that is commented "Get them the PM's"
with the return code being

echo "PM" . $breakchr . "" . $breakchr . "<i>{$row['name']}</i>" . $breakchr . $sclass . $breakchr . $row['message'] . $breakchr;

the message typed in russian is still in the russian charset in the db, but because the page does not have the correct headers declared the text is sent back in jumbled characters
