I've tried what seem to be the usual fixes I've seen from replies around on these boards and other places found on Google and I've only managed to change the characters.
even using <?php ?>
will end up inserting:
^ seems not much is showing up when I copy and paste. you can view the link http://boxxie.org/itd/header.php
as you can see theres a lot of blank spaced inserted before the html which makes for some undesired results
I tried adding in:
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8");
and
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
those got rid of the actual character that was being put there but surely nothing should be there at all.
EDIT:
heres code for the whole page at moment:
<?php
// error_reporting( E_ALL );
// ini_set( "display_errors", 1 );
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8");
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>In The Distance</title>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="header"><h1>Some text here</h1><h2>lorem ipsum etcetera?</h2></div>
<div id="left"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</body>
</html>
