WampServer

Wampserver is up and running without problems, I am guessing I am missing some Apache setting somewhere, but when I access my localhost with:

://localhost/originnode/?test=õäöü

.. the browser converts the URL to ..

://localhost/originnode/?test=%F5%E4%F6%FC

.. and same applies to $_GET string. Now I know that a hosting service I am using has no such problem and the index.php meta tag and header both serve the document as UTF-8. This only happens on localhost, with the same file.

Any solution to this problem? Where to look?

After spending another hour on Google, only thing I've found is reference to variable:

AddDefaultCharset

Which does not exist anywhere in Apache configuration of Wampserver. Adding it there didn't make a difference either.

Help please?

Browsers automatically URI Encode GET query strings (safe). That's all you are looking at.

You don't say what you do with the q string but all it needs is to be correctly unencoded to evaluate; what is the rsult then?
