Description:
------------
I have a very simple web-page script with mainly 'echo' commands. Randomly the accented characters are replaced
by question-marks. If or not the question mark appears
seems to be depending on the page contents, though at least
in one of the cases, the only thing that changes in the
page is a GIF image. 

All this happens in the same html-session, using the same
script.

I've seen other -similar- reports, though none about 'echo'.
I can't be sure if this is an apache problem or php-related.

Sorry if was already solved... Please indicate.

Reproduce code:
---------------
echo "P?gina ?ndice";

Expected result:
----------------
P?gina ?ndice

Actual result:
--------------
Randomly 
P?gina ?ndice
P?gina ?ndice

Sorry, but 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 as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Thanks for the reply.

Just so other people finding this description are pointed in the correct direction, this problem appears to be a bug in Mozilla. PHP serves the accented characters correctly, the browser randomly changes them into question marks. Firefox/Opera/Dillo don't have this problem (apparently). I found this out by tracing the HTTP transfer.
