Utf8 horror at LAMP – accept charset
Wednesday 30 December 2009 @ 6:55 am

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Continuing the never ending saga of perl / utf horror:

<form method=”post” accept-charset=”utf-8″ action=”…”>

Well, I never used it… and my web app works.

Is this accept-charset really needed? Do you know?

    One place where you have to use it is if you want to include a form in a ISO-8859-1 page that will be processed by a more modern CGI/FastCGI app that expects utf8.

    Quite common on mixed legacy/new environments.
