WAMP5 Version 1.6.6
Hi, I have found a problem with PHP files encoded in UTF-8 running under Wamp.
I have this code in a PHP file, encoded with UTF-8:
And the result is:
This is because in the generated code, there are three garbage bytes in the beginning of the file (0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF) and the header is sent after them. I think they appear always that a <?php tag is reached.
All this leads me to think the initial configuration of the php.ini or the httpd.conf does not take into account the UTF encoding. However, I have tried changing some values related to charsets in these files, but I have achieved nothing. So, might this be a WampServer problem? Or something wrong with my configuration?

And the result is:

I found out the solution. Chech this: [bugs.php.net]
You can solve this by changing the php.ini. Change the following line:
output_buffering = Off
by this one:
output_buffering = 4096

Well, above is not a solution, only a work-around.
The problem do dissapear if you change the charset of the file from UTF-8 to UTF-8 without BOM.
