Character encoding failing

I'm trying to set the encoding of some files in PHP to ISO-8859-1. I tried using this:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">`

but it still isn't working. What can I do? Thank you.

You should be outputting this as a real HTTP header. <meta> elements are not a good substitute.

header('Content-Type: text/html;charset=iso8859-1');

You should ensure that the encoding of the files is actually ISO 8859-1 - all this does is tell the browser that the resource is in that encoding, it doesn't actually transcode or anything.
