That is because, firefox rockssss – The COMPLETE PHP Newbie 47 secs ago

That comment is probably right (although maybe accidentally. :) Firefox may be sniffing the document's encoding with more flexibility than Chrome is.

The most likely explanation is that your HTML document's encoding is not defined, and the PHP source file (where you store the text in) is stored in a different encoding than you are outputting.

Make sure the encoding of the PHP file, and the HTML document you're outputting, match.

  • The encoding of the PHP source file can probably be set in your IDE

  • The encoding of the HTML page is defined by the Content-type header your web server sends, and/or the Content-type META tag.
