[4902] Text disappearing with SSI.php

[Daegaladh]

Hi, I'm integrating SSI in a game control panel to get the news from my forum with ssi_boardNews, all works fine, except this:

Text printed via $news dissappears when have special characters like ¿¡áéíóú

For example, the title of one of the news is "aaaa", it works fine. The title of another one is "¿aa?", and isn't showing.
The same happens with some paragraphs on $news['body'], if a paragraph have an special character, it disappears, but not the rest.

The charset of the site is set to UTF-8, as well as my forums, and all the files are encoded in UTF-8 without BOM.

I've tested things like: ñññ<a href="', $news['href'], '">', $news['subject'], '</a>
and the ñññ is showing correctly, but the text from $news['subject'] is still missing, so I think is an SSI problem...

Any ideas? :S
Thanks

Confirmed.

The problem seems to be that is not sent the proper header.
Adding a line like:

Code Select Expand

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=' . (empty($modSettings['global_character_set']) ? (empty($txt['lang_character_set']) ? 'ISO-8859-1' : $txt['lang_character_set']) : $modSettings['global_character_set']));
somewhere after

Code Select Expand

reloadSettings(); should fix it.

The same applies to subscriptions.php (reported few days ago in the Italian board) in particular when:

Code Select Expand

if (empty($_POST))
die($txt['paid_no_data']);
