I'm trying to retrieve content from sites/2.php (the content is a plain text link) and put it into an <a href="#" id="tpbx">Test</a>, instead of the #. I edited the second option in this answer, but it doesn't work. I also tried setting the header of 2.php to UTF-8 by using this line of code:

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

But that didn't help.

My code is: 

<script>
    $(function() { 
        $.get('sites/2.php', function(data) {
            $('#tpb').attr('href', $(data).text());
        });
    });
</script>

And the content of 2.php is generated by another (in this case not relevant) script, and could look like this:

<?php
     header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
?>
something:?something

Does anyone know why this is not working?

You should use

$('#tpb').attr('href', data);

instead of 

$('#tpb').attr('href', $(data).text());
