Bug Description
Binary package hint: gphpedit
Web browsers do not use UTF-8 encoding as default, but ISO-8859-1.
So, a PHP editor designed for the web should give you the possibility to choose the encoding.
If you speak english, you may not see the difference, but in spanish we have special characters such as ñ, ¡, ó ... now think about hebrew, japanese, chinesse...
The attached file is an example.
