What's charset in the metatag? <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> What should I put there? What's the standard for PHP files? and does content="text/php... make sense?
no just, text/html, because php parses into html. I like to use UTF-8 for mine but it depends what your really doing. UTF-8 is more for many different lanuages and flexibility as far as I understand. iso-8859-1 is more of a western encoding and is a little more strict.
You'll want to read the Frequently Asked Questions About HTML FAQ over at SitePoint written by Tommy Olsson for the answer (I was going to post the relevant part but I don't want to get in any trouble here). You'll also want to read The Definitive Guide to Web Character Encoding (also by Tommy Olsson).
