Submit WebToLead-Form -> no german characters possible

[wost1234]

Hallo,

i searched the forum for a solution to fix this problem with the german "Umlaute". I am using the version 4.5.1b with the german and englich language files. I created a form with the wizard "Create Lead Form" without any problems submitting data excepting the special character üöä or ß ... and all characters get lost after a "Umlaut". I tryed to change the config. from utf8 to ISO-8859-1 withot any success.

This also happens with the mambo-SugarRegistration. I hope that someone can help me or show me the threat with the solution.

Please help, thank you very much in advance!

Futher Informations:
- Database Collation is utf8_general_ci (changing is not possible!?)
- Server ISO-8859-1 (Local & master Value)

Hallo,

i find a solution that seems to work.

i add in the .htaccess "AddDefaultCharset On" and in the form tag ' "accept-charset="UTF-8" '
i hope this helps others too...

no solution!! It only works with the firefox, not with IE ???

Please help!

The solution - Put this in the header of the webform:

<?php header('content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); ?>
