Validator charset warning

  • Hi all. I’m a little confused about the charset setup. My brand-new, Fantastico-created blog has a Validator error of the following

    Character Encoding mismatch!

    The character encoding specified in the HTTP header (utf-8) is different from the value in the <meta> element (iso-8859-1). I will use the value from the HTTP header (utf-8) for this validation.

    My config file has define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’). The <meta> does write out as 8859, and is coded like so in the header: charset=<?php bloginfo(‘charset’). The encoding in the Reading options is utf-8. I’m expecting the blog to put out utf-8. I certainly didn’t change anything.

    I’m not savvy about charsets, or doctypes, or anything else, naturally. Thx.

    It looks like a few others have had this problem too, but I haven’t found a thread with a resolution.

    Am I correct in assuming that the database encoding is fine because of the config file?
