In an oscommerce site I have the following:

Server response = Content-type: text/html;charset=UTF-8

and I want: Content-type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1

How and where do I set this up.

Html looks like this on the page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> 
<html dir="LTR" lang="nl"> 
<head> 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

Changing it to: utf-8 doesnt solve the problem.

    What's wrong with UTF-8 (said differently, for which bad reason do you need to change?) – Keltia Jan 06 '09 at 23:43
  • Because somehow the characters which aren't standard show up as boxes isntead of what they are supposed to be if I don't manually change the browser encoding to iso ... – Mischa Kroon Jan 07 '09 at 00:56
  • Changing the type to utf-8 w/o changing the characters themselves will not fix it as you have seen. You'd be better changing all pages to UTF-8. – Keltia Jan 07 '09 at 09:18
  • As I've seen the accepted answer works for me, your "solution" won't work in this case. – Mischa Kroon Jan 12 '09 at 12:52

Note that (especially for a commerce site) you should use ISO-8859-15 instead, which includes the Euro sign.
