Character problems

[englishpremier]

I have been asked to take a look the site here: wtatkin.com/Russian/contact.htm (in tables :eek)

The problem is that on the contact form when people send in enquiries in Russian the text appears garbled or as a load of question marks.

Not being a developer i'm unsure of the best way to fix this.

Nah its not that. Its the same on Macs and PCs in the office, all of which can see Russian characters.

I think its something as simple as setting the character set in the code to UTF-8 but I don't know how to do this in php or .pl files whatever they are.

The html page is already in utf-8 is the .pl pearl script file in the cgi-bin folder that i imagine is causing the problems.

Make sure the encoding matches across the platforms.. i.e. on the page, and on the database.

there is no database

your content type is set to: "text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"

No its not. It wasn't when the thread was posted. an update applied the wrong template to the page but that was corrected.

Its a problem with the pearl mailer it must be.
