The latest PHP versions does not like Norwegian letters (??? and ???). I am running a PHP application called Moregroupware (www.moregroupware.org) on my Windows XP computer with Apache/2.0.35/Windows and PHP/4.2.0 RC4. 

I did not have this problems with earlier versions of PHP, e. g. 4.1.2 together with Apache/1.3.24.

Apache2 support is still experimental. Do you get
same problem with Apache 1.3.24 and 4.2.0RC4 ?

Ok. I have testet a little bit more. 

I do not get the bug if I use Apache 1.3.24/Windows together with PHP 4.2.0RC4/Windows. So the problem only appears with the combination of Apache/2.0.35/Windows together with PHP/4.2.ORC4/Windows.

But even more strange: I only get the problem when I use Internet Explorer. If I use Mozilla browser or Opera I do not get it. Strange!

reclassified.

This might as well be a bug in the character-set-handling-stuff of Apache 2 due to incorrect or strange headers sent by Internet Explorer.

Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking
support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.
For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP,
please visit http://www.php.net/support.php

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Browser issue.

at least in Apache 2.x, in httpd.conf file, change:

AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-2

to

AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1

It works for me.

By the way, if you call a simple and plain html file (no .php) your letters look strange too, my conclusion: this is not a php bug.
