PhpDig.net - View Single Post - how to stop search results being messed up all over page

With PhpDig 1.8.7, you should not index multi-byte content or use UTF-8 in the following tag, as PhpDig 1.8.7 is not capable of properly understanding multi-byte content:

Code:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

The charset that you use with PhpDig 1.8.7 must match the charset of the pages that were indexed. PhpDig 1.8.7 is for one single-byte charset only. You could try using charset=ISO-8859-1 in the tag, but when you indexed sites, what PhpDig version did you use?

PhpDig 1.8.8 RC1 uses UTF-8, but if you are mixing and matching PhpDig versions, that might cause some weirdness in the templated page as encoding might be the issue, and though I'm not totally sure of the cause, I doubt it is your host.

First try using charset=ISO-8859-1 in the META tag, and if that doesn't work, try a fresh install, fresh tables, fresh index, and then see if the page looks okay. If you meet the PhpDig 1.8.8 RC1 requirements, I would suggest using that version.
