PHP - $ _GET - 解码utf-8

Question

The documentation on this page http://ru2.php.net/manual/en/function.urldecode.php says that "The superglobals $_GET and $_REQUEST are already decoded".

But on my server this code

var_dump($_GET['str'])

returns

string(21) "ффф"

How can I make php decode strings in $_GET ?

Answer 1

You should set correct header content-type on pages with form:

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8"');

And you should get correct data from $_GET without any decoding operations.
