Use an editor like notepad++ (not the windows notepad). Then just convert the encoding to utf8 without bom. Afterwards save the file and upload it to your server and it should work.

Hi marc, for some reason I am unable to convert to UTF-8 without bom. It won't let me, not with notepad ++, or UTFCast, or anything. if I put "convert to UTF-8 without BOM" it just does nothing after saving. Any ideas, or tips? Could you post the php files in that encoding? Thank you!
