I'm using Zend Studio for Eclipise on Mac, and it seems to keep setting all files to have and encoding of 'Mac Roman'. This becomes problematic when I save the files, as they all need to be UTF-8.
I know how to change the encoding to UTF-8 on a file by file basis, but I was wondering if I could set this project wide?
On my Eclipse for PHP Helios SR 2 for Mac:
The others are the same as @SkaveRat
On a Zend Studio 8.x,for Mac osx 10.5.8 I changed it like this:
Top menu chose: Edit->Set encoding->Other: UTF-8,. By default it is set Mac Roman.
And then apply.
Just remember, php does not actually support utf-8 encoded sourcefiles. When creating strings in a utf-8 encoded file, php will just see 2 static bytes per character.
Try running the following with either utf-8 or ISO-8859-1 enconding. strlen() will report different lengths depending on encoding.
<?php $string = "äüö"; echo (strlen($string)); ?>
